ORDER DISMISSING DEFENDANT JOHNSON FOR FAILURE TO PROSECUTE

Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4(m) requires the Court to dismiss an action without prejudice against a defendant if that defendant has not been served within 90 days after the complaint is filed and plaintiff fails to show good cause. Plaintiff's counsel answered the Court's order to show cause with vague statements that do not amount to good cause (Dkt. 11), and in follow-up to the Court acknowledged that there is no good cause for the failure to serve defendant Tiffany Anne Johnson within the timeframe allowed by the Federal Rules.

Therefore, defendant Tiffany Anne Johnson is DISMISSED without prejudice.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
