13 Plaintiff Andres Gomez filed the complaint in this case on January 4, 2022. ECF No. 1.

14 Under General Order 56, Gomez was required to complete service, or file a motion for administrative relief requesting an extension, within 60 days of filing the complaint. General Order No. 56 ¶ 1. That deadline passed on March 7, 2022. To date, no proof of service or administrative motion has been filed.

18 Gomez is ordered to show cause as to why sanctions should not be imposed for failure to comply with the Court’s orders. See Civil L.R. 1-4; Wang v. Nev. Sys. of Higher Educ., No. 3:18- cv-00075-MMD-CLB, 2022 WL 95428, at *4 (D. Nev. Jan. 10, 2022) (“Federal courts have the inherent power to punish conduct which abuses the judicial process, including accessing attorneys’ fees when a party has ‘acted in bad faith, vexatiously, wantonly, or for oppressive reasons.’”

23 (quoting Chambers v. NASCO, Inc., 501 U.S. 32, 45-46 (1991)). The Court notes that it has frequently been required to address Plaintiff’s counsel’s failure to comply with the Court’s deadlines.
