 Title     Omar Abdul-Hameed v. Snap Inc., et al.


 Present: The Honorable                R. GARY KLAUSNER, UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
                      Joseph Remigio                                                          N/A
                        Deputy Clerk                                                    Court Reporter

               Attorneys Present for Plaintiffs:                               Attorneys Present for Defendants:
                         None appearing                                                None appearing
 Proceedings:               (IN CHAMBERS) Order to Show Cause re Dismissal for Lack of Prosecution

Absent a showing of good cause, an action must be dismissed without prejudice if the summons and complaint
are not served on a defendant within 90 days after the complaint is filed. Fed.R.Civ.Proc. 4(m). Generally,
defendants must answer the complaint within 21 days after service (60 days if the defendant is the United
States). Fed.R.Civ.Proc. 12(a)(1).

In the present case, it appears that one or more of these time periods has not been met. Accordingly, the
court, on its own motion, orders plaintiff(s) to show cause in writing by December 9, 2025, why this action
should not be dismissed for lack of prosecution as to certain defendant/s.

Alternatively, the Court will consider the following a satisfactory response to the Order to Show Cause:
          Alternative Response                                      Response         As to Defendant/s:
                                                                    Due Date
 X        Proof of TIMELY AND PROPER service of                     12/9/2025        Snap Inc.
          summons and operative complaint                                            Evan T. Spiegel
                                                                                     Derek Andersen
          Response to the operative Complaint


          If defendant fails to respond on the date above,
          Plaintiff’s application for entry of default by clerk
          pursuant to Rule 55a of the Federal Rules of Civil
          Procedure

          Plaintiff’s motion for default judgment pursuant to
          Rule 55b of the Federal Rules of Civil
          Procedure

If a satisfactory response is not timely filed, the matter or the listed defendants will be dismissed for lack of
prosecution without further warning. A stipulation to extend dates or a notice of settlement do not
constitute a proper response to this order.

Pursuant to Rule 78 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the court finds that this matter is appropriate for
submission without oral argument. Failure to comply with this order may result in the imposition of sanctions
including dismissal of certain parties and/or the entire action for lack of prosecution without further warning.

Plaintiff to serve this order on any non-appearing defendant/s who have been formally served.
