ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE: On July 23, 2026, this Court ordered Petitioner to serve Respondents no later than July 30, 2026 and to "promptly" file proof of service on the docket. [Doc. 11 at 1-2]. The Court also ordered Petitioner to file a notice clarifying his correct name no later than July 30, 2026. [Id. at 1 n.1]. Petitioner has not filed the Court-ordered notice or proof of service. Accordingly, it is ORDERED that Petitioner shall SHOW CAUSE, on or before 8/17/2026, why this case should not be dismissed without prejudice for failure to prosecute. See D.C.COLO.LCivR 40.1; Reed v. Bennett, 312 F.3d 1190, 1195 (10th Cir. 2002) ("A district court undoubtedly has discretion to sanction a party for failing to prosecute or defend a case, or for failing to comply with local or federal procedural rules.").

MINUTE ORDER: Upon review of Petitioner's submissions, [Doc. 13 ; Doc. 14 ], the Court's August 10, 2026 Order to Show Cause, [Doc. 12], is not discharged. Petitioner did not respond to the Order to Show Cause. Furthermore, the proof of service filed by Petitioner is insufficient because (1) it represents that a stricken, non-operative petition was served on Respondents, and (2) it does not demonstrate compliance with Rule 4. See [Doc. 14 ]. The Court sua sponte extends Petitioner's deadline to respond to the Order to Show Cause to 8/24/2026. Failure to appropriately respond to the Order Show Cause will result in dismissal of this case without prejudice without further notice. By Judge Nina Y. Wang on 08/18/2026.

MINUTE ORDER: Upon review, the Court's August 10, 2026 Order to Show Cause, [Doc. 12], is DISCHARGED in part and MADE ABSOLUTE in part. With respect to all Respondents other than Markwayne Mullin, the Court finds that Petitioner's 16 Proof of Service of Process sufficiently establishes compliance with Rule 4 and this Court's prior 11 Order directing service. As for Secretary Mullin, however, there is no sign that Petitioner has attempted to serve him. See [Doc. 16 ]; Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(i)(2). Accordingly, Secretary Mullin is DISMISSED as a respondent in this case. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b); D.C.COLO.LCivR 40.1; Reed v. Bennett, 312 F.3d 1190, 1195 (10th Cir. 2002). By Judge Nina Y.
