MINUTE ORDER: Plaintiff filed this action on September 14, 2023. On December 28, 2023, the Court noted that no proof of service had been filed on the docket and ordered Plaintiff to either file proof of service or move to enlarge time to serve process by January 18, 2024. Plaintiff did not do so. On February 14, 2024, the Court ordered Plaintiff to show cause by February 28, 2024, why this case should not be dismissed for failure to serve. On February 27, 2024, Plaintiff responded to the Order in a document titled "Motion," in which she represented that a signed summons was sent via USPS on February 9, 2024, to Defendant USAID. Plaintiff made no mention of any attempted service with respect to Defendant Jeffrey Lehrer or Defendant Robert Horvath. As the Court previously explained, Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4(m) requires Plaintiff to serve a defendant with the summons and a copy of the complaint "within 90 days after the complaint is filed." In addition, to serve a United States agency or United States officer or employee, a plaintiff must also comply with Rule 4(i), which requires that "a party must serve the United States." Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(i)(2), (3). Serving the United States requires, in turn, service on "the Attorney General and the U.S. Attorney for the district where the action is brought." Morrissey v. Mayorkas, 17 F.4th 1150, 1156 (D.C. Cir. 2021); see also Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(i)(1). A plaintiff must also comply with the proof of service requirement of Rule 4(l)(1), which states that "[e]xcept for service by a United States marshal or deputy marshal, proof must be by the server's affidavit." Simply put, Plaintiff has failed to show that she has properly served any defendant in this case. And although Plaintiff is proceeding pro se, and is therefore afforded "some flexibility, pro se litigants must comply with the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure" as well. Hebert v. USA, No. 18-cv-2190 (UNA), ECF No. 3 at 1 (D.D.C. Oct. 10, 2018). Thus, it is hereby ORDERED that by May 6, 2024, Plaintiff shall cause process to be served upon Defendants and file proof of service as required by the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. At that time, the Court anticipates dismissing any unserved defendant. Signed by Judge Timothy J. Kelly on 4/5/2024. (lctjk2)
