7 Adriana Rincon White, et al.,

8 Defendants 9 10 Plaintiff R.O. Brooks Freshwadda initiated this action in August 2025. Compl., ECF No 11 1-1. After four unsuccessful attempts to apply for in forma pauperis status, ECF Nos. 5, 8, 10, 12, 12 Freshwadda paid the filing fee in full, ECF No. 13. His complaint is therefore deemed filed on 13 February 13, 2026. 14 Under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the plaintiff has the burden to establish that 15 he properly and timely effectuated service of process upon a defendant. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(c)(1) 16 (“The plaintiff is responsible for service of a summons and complaint within the time allowed 17 under subdivision (m) . . . .”). “Service of process” is the legal term describing a formal delivery of 18 documents giving the defendant notice of a pending lawsuit. R. Griggs Grp. Ltd. v. Filanto Spa, 920 F. 19 Supp. 1100, 1103 (D. Nev. 1996) (citing Volkswagenwerk Aktiengesellschaft v. Schlunk, 486 U.S. 694 20 (1988)). “Service of process is the means by which a court asserts jurisdiction over the person.” 21 Neumont Univ., LLC v. Nickles, 304 F.R.D. 594, 597 (D. Nev. 2015) (quoting SEC v. Ross, 504 F.3d 22 1130, 1138 (9th Cir. 2007)). 23 Freshwadda’s complaint was filed on February 13, 2026, so the court reminds him that to 24 timely effect service on the defendants, he must serve a copy of the summons and complaint—in 25 compliance with Rule 4—within ninety days after filing of the complaint. Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(e), 26 (m). Proof of service must be provided on or before May 14, 2026. If Freshwadda fails to do so, then this action must be dismissed without prejudice, unless the plaincilt shows good cause for 2|| the failure to effect timely service. Fed. R. Civ.
