- ilnd;;1:08-cv-02495_de6 RegisterActionDescriptionText "MINUTE entry before the Honorable Blanche M. Manning: This case was filed on May 1, 2008. A complaint must be served within 120 days after a complaint was filed. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(m). Here, this means that the plaintiff was required to serve the defendant by August 29, 2008. He does not appear to have done so. When a plaintiff does not effect service in a timely fashion, the court may, after notice, dismiss the complaint or extend the time to effect service upon a showing of good cause. See id. At the next status, the plaintiff should be prepared to discuss his efforts to serve the defendant. If the plaintiff fails to show good cause, his complaint may be dismissed due to lack of timely service. The court also notes that the right to sue letter in this case was sent on June 30, 2006, yet the plaintiff's complaint alleges that he received the letter on March 8, 2008 (which is within 90 days of the date that the complaint was filed). At the upcoming status hearing, the plaintiff should be prepared to discuss the circumstances surrounding his receipt of his right to sue letter and the substantial lapse between mailing and the alleged receipt. The Court reminds the plaintiff that he may make an appointment with the pro se help desk attorney, located on the 20th Floor, if he wishes to do so during the pendency of this case.Mailed notice (rth, ) (Entered: 10/27/2008)" @default.
