within 120 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, Plaintiff is hereby ORDERED to SHOW CAUSE, within
twenty-one days of the date of this Opinion and Order, why this Court
should not: (1) dismiss this action against defendant "Jane Doe"
based on Plaintiff's failure to timely identify and serve such
defendant; and (2) decline to exercise supplemental jurisdiction and
dismiss the remaining state-law claim against the Sheriff pursuant
to 28 U.S.C. § 1367 (c) (3) .
The Clerk is DIRECTED to send a copy of this Opinion and Order
to all counsel of record.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
