August 10, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 15 ORDER: The Honorable Nina R. Morrison assigned this case to the undersigned for all pretrial purposes. Enclosed is a copy of the Individual Practices of Magistrate Judge James R. Cho.The Court's records reflect that the complaint in this action was filed on July 31, 2023. See ECF No. 1. On August 2, 2023, plaintiff filed an amended complaint. See ECF No. 10. Rule 4(m) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure provides:If a defendant is not served within 90 days after the complaint is filed, the court on motion or on its own after notice to the plaintiff must dismiss the action without prejudice against that defendant or order that service be made within a specified time. But if the plaintiff shows good cause for the failure, the court must extend the time for service for an appropriate period.Accordingly, if service is not made upon the defendants by October 31, 2023, or plaintiff fails to show good cause why such service has not been effected, it will be recommended that the Court dismiss this action without prejudice. Plaintiff is required to advise the Clerk of Court of any change of address. Failure to keep the Court informed of plaintiff's current address means the Court will not know where to contact plaintiff and may result in dismissal of the case. For information regarding court procedures, plaintiff may contact the Pro Se Office at the United States Courthouse by calling (718) 613-2665. Ordered by Magistrate Judge James R. Cho on 8/10/2023.
