Complaint and disclosures were filed by the Plaintiff on 7 August. Summons followed. Answer to the complaint was filed by counsel of the defendant 7 August. Plaintiff filed their response to defendants affirmative defenses 9 August. The Court entered and Order to Show Cause directed to Plaintiff on 19 August seeking answer from Plaintiff as to why this action should not be dismissed for failure to comply with the applicable requirements governing service of process, as found in Rule 4(7)(1). Plaintiff did not appear, file, reply, or make notice to this Court as of current and it has been many days over due. Therefore, I will be sending an Order to Dismiss to Judge <@162074259835846656> pending his review and adoption. [0121] virridity — Sep 10, 2026, 12:35:24 PM UTC Your Honor, I apologise for my inactivity to this case and my lack of a response. I have been very busy with my personal life and haven't had the time to focus on this. It is also my first time in a civil and i was unfamiliar with the process and im aware i've done some things wrong. I have taken the time to read the rules of civil procedure and am now familiar with what's required going forward. I respectfully ask that the Court excuse this delay and not dismiss the case, and that I be given a short extension of time to serve the summons on the defendant. I'm ready to get this served promptly if given the chance, and I don't believe the defendant has been harmed by the delay since his counsel has already appeared and filed an answer. Thank you.
