(D.E. #1 .) On June 28, 2021, Assistant U.S. Attorney Natalie Diaz appeared on behalf of Respondents. (D.E. #13 .) On July 13, 2021, counsel for Petitioner filed return receipts from the United States Postal Service purporting to show that Respondents Garland, Renaud, and Stultz have been served, (D.E. #14 at 7, 9, 13), but stating that he had not received a return receipt for Respondent Mayorkas, (id. at 1). Regardless, all four Respondents have entered an appearance through counsel. Accordingly, it is ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that Respondents shall have until and including August 4, 2021 to respond to the Petition or otherwise SHOW CAUSE why Mr. Tellado's Petition for Review of Denial of Application for Naturalization Pursuant to 8 U.S.C. sec. 1421(c) should not be granted.

July 14, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 15 PAPERLESS ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE. THIS CAUSE is before the Court upon a sua sponte review of the record. Plaintiff filed the Complaint on April 12, 2021. Over 90 days have passed and Plaintiff has not filed proof that Defendants have been properly served. Although counsel for Plaintiff filed a document titled "PROOF OF SERVICE," (D.E. #14 ), it only states that Defendants have been served without any proof. For example, it states that "The proof of receipt of the summons for Enid Stulz, in her official capacity as Field Office Director, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, was received by the undersigned on April 22, 2021." (Id. at 2.) However, Counsel for Plaintiff did not file the proof of receipt of the summons for Enid Stulz. Based on the Court's review of the record, it is ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that, pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4(m), Plaintiff shall have ten (10) days from the date of this Order to serve Defendants, file valid proof of service, or show cause why this case should not be dismissed for lack of service. This entry constitutes the PAPERLESS ORDER in its entirety. Signed by Judge Joan A. Lenard on 7/14/2021. (gie)
