REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION

On October 19, 2018, the undersigned entered an order (doc. 22) granting defendants' motion to quash and allowing plaintiff 30 days in which to properly serve defendants.1 The undersigned advised that should plaintiff fail to properly effect service of process within that time, the matter would be subject to dismissal for failure to timely effect service of process. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(m). After more than 30 days passed and plaintiff had not filed returns of service indicating defendants had been properly served, the undersigned entered an order (doc. 23) directing plaintiff to show cause within 14 days why the matter should not be dismissed for failure to timely effect service of process. More than 14 days have passed and plaintiff has not complied.

Accordingly, it is respectfully RECOMMENDED:

1. That this case be DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE for plaintiff's failure to timely effect service of process.

2. That the Clerk be directed to close the file.
