MEMORANDUM AND ORDER

Under Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(m), the Court may dismiss defendants not served within 90 days "on motion or on its own after notice to the plaintiff." Nine defendants in this case have not appeared and have not been served, over two years since it was filed: Christine Jones, Jane Prine, and seven unnamed defendants. See filing 6.
