MICHAEL D. NELSON, Magistrate Judge.
Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4(m) provides, "If a defendant is not served within 90 days after the complaint is filed, the court — on motion or on its own after notice to the plaintiff — must dismiss the action without prejudice against that defendant or order that service be made within a specified time. But if the plaintiff shows good cause for the failure, the court must extend the time for service for an appropriate period." Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(m). Plaintiff filed this action on March 20, 2019. More than 90 days has elapsed since the Complaint was filed. To date, Plaintiff has not filed any return of service indicating service on defendant Marie Rubin, a waiver of service has not been filed, defendant Rubin has not entered a voluntary appearance, and Plaintiff has not requested an extension of time to complete service. Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED that Plaintiff shall have until July 19, 2019, to show cause why this case should not be dismissed as to defendant Marie Rubin pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4(m) or for want of prosecution. The failure to timely comply with this order may result in dismissal of this action as to defendant Rubin without further notice.
