of the Honorable Magistrate Judge Brenda Weksler on 3/12/2026.
Plaintiff objected to this Court's recommendation that the claims against Defendants Zimmerman and Leavitt be dismissed for failure to serve pursuant to Rule 4(m). ECF Nos. 22, 23. It is clear that Plaintiff attempted to serve these Defendants in the past, but he did not advance any arguments explaining why he stopped attempting service of process. In addition, he failed to move for an extension of time. Thus, as this Court explained, Plaintiff failed to show good cause. ECF No. 18. Nevertheless, in the interest of adjudicating cases on the merits and recognizing Plaintiff is now on notice of his need to serve these defendants by the mandated deadline, Plaintiff will be afforded one last chance to serve them. Service of process on Defendants Zimmerman and Leavitt must be effectuated no later than April 24, 2026. Failure to effectuate service of process by that deadline may result in a recommendation that this action be dismissed as to these two Defendants.
