Opinion
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA
JEFFREY A. MCKELLOP,
Plaintiff,
v. Civil Action No. 24-1043 (TJK)
DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE et al.
Defendants.
MEMORANDUM
Plaintiff filed this lawsuit on March 27, 2024. He did not file service within the 90-day
window for doing so. See Fed. R. Civ. P 4(m). On August 12, 2024, this Court ordered Plaintiff
to, within 45 days—i.e., September 26, 2024—either (1) serve process and file proof of service in
accordance with Rule 4, or (2) move for an extension of time to do so. Plaintiff has done neither
as of today, September 27, 2024. Accordingly, pursuant to Local Rule 83.23 and the Court’s
“inherent power to dismiss a case sua sponte for a plaintiff’s failure to prosecute or otherwise
comply with a court order,” Peterson v. Archstone Communities LLC, 637 F.3d 416, 418 (D.C.
Cir. 2011), the Court will dismiss the case. A separate order will issue.
