UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA
SAROJ JOSHI,
Plaintiff,
v.
Civil Action No. 16-1910 (RDM)
ADAM SZUBIN,1 Acting Secretary of the
Treasury, and INTERNAL REVENUE
SERVICE,
Defendants.
OPINION
On January 10, 2017, this Court ordered plaintiff to show cause by January 23, 2017,
why plaintiff’s action against defendants Adam Szubin and the Internal Revenue Service should
not be dismissed without prejudice for failure to prosecute pursuant to Rule 4(m) of the Federal
Rules of Civil Procedure. See Dkt. 4. Because that deadline has passed and plaintiff has made
no showing that defendants have been served or offered any reason why this case should not be
dismissed, the Court will, accordingly, dismiss without prejudice for failure to prosecute.
