Loretta McGrath v. Experian Information Solutions, Inc., et al.

Summary

The court orders pro se plaintiff Loretta McGrath to cure deficiencies in her request for issuance of summonses or voluntarily dismiss the action. The order requires Plaintiff, within 28 days, to file a renewed request for summonses and proofs of service or face dismissal for lack of prosecution under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b) and the court's local rules.

Holdings

1. Because Plaintiff had not corrected the Clerk-identified deficiencies in her request for issuance of summons, service against the defendants could not be effectuated.
2. The court could require Plaintiff to cure the summons deficiencies and file proofs of service within 28 days, voluntarily dismiss under Rule 41(a), or face dismissal for lack of prosecution if she took no action.

Questions Presented

1. Whether Plaintiff's deficient request for issuance of summons prevented service of process from being effectuated.
2. Whether the court could require Plaintiff to correct the summons deficiencies and file proofs of service within a specified period or face dismissal for lack of prosecution.
