ORDER
P.K. HOLMES, III, District Judge.
Plaintiffs filed this action in Sebastian County state court on January 10, 2019 and Defendants removed the case to this Court on February 11, 2019. The complaint names nine John Doe Defendants but makes no allegations specific to them. Despite June 3, 2019 direction from the Clerk, Plaintiffs have not filed proof of service or a motion to extend time for service of the Doe Defendants, and have not otherwise shown good cause for an extension of time to serve.
Because no allegations are made against the Doe Defendants, and because Plaintiffs have failed to file either proof of service or a motion to extend the time to serve, claims against them will be dismissed. Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(m), 12(b)(6); Lee v. Airgas Mid-South, Inc., 793 F.3d 894 (8th Cir. 2015).
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that Plaintiffs' claims against John Does I-IX are DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE. Plaintiffs' claims against GEICO General Insurance Company remain pending.
