Plaintiff is hereby NOTIFIED that if the "John Doe" defendant is not served within the requisite 120-day period, "the courton 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" in the absence of a showing by plaintiff of "good cause for the failure" to timely effectuate service.

Plaintiff shall serve upon defendants or, if appearance has been entered by counsel, upon defendants attorney(s), a copy of every further pleading or other document submitted for consideration by the Court. Plaintiff shall include with the original paper to be filed with the Clerk of Court a certificate stating the date a true and correct copy of any document was mailed to defendants or their counsel. Any paper received by a district judge or magistrate judge which has not been filed with the Clerk or which fails to include a certificate of service will be disregarded by the Court; 4.
