2. Notice to Unrepresented (Pro Se) Parties in Non-Prisoner Cases
a. Parties representing themselves should visit the link titled "If You Don't Have a Lawyer" on the Court's homepage, www.cand.uscourts.gov. The link discusses the Court's "Legal Help Center" for unrepresented parties. The Legal Help Center can be reached at 415-782-8982 and is located on the 15th Floor, Room 2796, of the courthouse at 450 Golden Gate Avenue in San Francisco.
b. If you are representing yourself and you have not been granted leave to proceed in forma pauperis (IFP) by the Court, you must comply with the service requirements of Rule 4 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, as set forth below. Failure to follow the procedures may result, under Rule 4(m), in dismissal of your case;
(i) It is your responsibility to obtain a valid summons from the clerk and to effect service of the summons and complaint on all defendants in accordance with Rule 4 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. If you have named the United States government, a federal agency, a federal official or a federal employee as a defendant, you must comply with the special requirements of Rule 4(i).
(ii) Service may be affected by any person who is not a party and who is at least 18 years of age, which means that you, as a party, may not affect service. If service of the summons and complaint is not made upon a defendant within 120 days after the filing of the complaint, your action will, under Rule 4(m), be dismissed as to that defendant.
(iii) Within 125 days after the filing of the complaint, you must file proof of service indicating which defendants were served within the 120 days allowed under Rule 4(m) and showing, in accordance with Rule 4(i), how each of those defendants was served (for example, by attaching appropriate certificates of service). You must also show cause why a defendant not served within the 120 days allowed under Rule 4(m) should not be dismissed without prejudice.
(iv) Failure to do these things within the designated time will result in the dismissal of your case under Rule 4(m) and Rule 41(b).
