17 Alertone Service, Inc., initiated this action by filing a complaint on April 28, 2025. (Doc. 1.) 18 After Plaintiff failed to serve the summons and complaint on the defendant—or file proof of service as 19 such—the Court ordered Plaintiff to show cause why the action should not be dismissed. (Doc. 4.) 20 Plaintiff failed to respond to the Court’s order. 21 The magistrate judge found Plaintiff failed to prosecute this action and failed to comply with the 22 Court’s orders. (Doc. 6 at 1-2.) In addition, the magistrate judge determined Plaintiff failed to comply 23 with Rule 4(m) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, which requires service within 90 days. (Id. at 24 2.) The magistrate judge determined terminating sanctions are appropriate after considering the factors 25 identified by the Ninth Circuit in Carey v. King,
856 F.2d 1439, 1440-41(9th Cir. 1988), and 26 recommended the Court dismiss the action “without prejudice for Plaintiff’s failure to prosecute this 27 action, failure to comply with the Court’s orders, and failure to comply with Rule 4(m), Fed. R. Civ. 28 P.” (Id. at 3-4.) 1 The Court served the Findings and Recommendations on Plaintiff, including a notice that any 2 || objections were due within 14 days. (Doc. 6 at 4.)

772 F.3d 834, 838-39(9th Cir. 2014).) Plaintiff did not file objections, and the 5 || time to do so has passed. 6 According to
