ORDER 
 
 
 
This matter was before the Court on August 1, 2012, on the Orders 
to Show Cause dated June 14, 2012 and July 5, 2012, directed to 
plaintiff.  Plaintiff personally appeared.     
 
On December 8, 2011, plaintiff was directed to file an amended 
complaint on or before January 7, 2012, alleging a factual basis for 
this Court’s jurisdiction.  Plaintiff failed to comply with that 
Order.  In addition, despite having filed the complaint on July 16, 
2010, plaintiff has neither requested nor been issued summonses to 
defendants, nor is there any indication in the docket that service 
has been made in accordance with Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4.  
Plaintiff has not sought any extension of time for service.    
     The premises considered, is hereby  
 
ORDERED that plaintiff shall, on or before September 1, 2012, 
amend the complaint herein to allege a factual basis for this Court's 
Case: 3:10-cv-00077-CVG-RM   Document #: 11   Filed: 08/01/12   Page 1 of 2

sufficiently that the Court has jurisdiction, may lead to dismissal 
of this action; and it is further  
 
ORDERED that plaintiff shall demonstrate, on or before 
September 1, 2012, why this matter should not be dismissed for failure 
to timely serve process on defendants; and it is further  
 
ORDERED that this matter is scheduled for further proceedings 
on September 5, 2012, at 11:00 a.m., in the Magistrate Judge’s 
Courtroom, District Court of the Virgin Islands, 5500 Veterans Drive, 
U.S. Courthouse & Federal Building, St. Thomas, Virgin Islands.
