Order to Show Cause
Mon 04/01 2:23 PM
MINUTE ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE: Plaintiff filed this False Claims Act lawsuit November 24, 2021. On December 15, 2023, the United States and the District of Columbia filed notices declining to intervene, ECF Nos. 14, 17. As the Court provided in its December 18, 2023, Order, ECF No. 15, this notice triggered Plaintiff's obligation to serve Defendants. More than 90 days have passed since the notice, however, and it appears from the record that Plaintiff has not yet served Defendants. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(m). Therefore, it is hereby ORDERED that Plaintiff SHOW CAUSE, in writing, on or before May 3, 2024, why this action should not be dismissed. Should Plaintiff fails to effectuate service or to satisfactorily respond to the present order by May 3, 2024, the court may dismiss this action without further notice. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(m); Local Civ. R. 83.23. Signed by Judge Tanya S. Chutkan on 4/1/24. (lce) |
