Defendants’ motion to dismiss [Doc. No. 18] is granted. Plaintiff Charles Palmer
Cannon, Jr. was ordered on September 13, 2011, to fully respond to defendants’ discovery

being dismissed. Defendants now move to dismiss [Doc. No. 18] as Cannon has failed to
comply. Cannon has not responded to the motion to dismiss.
A party that fails to obey an order to provide discovery may have his action dismissed.
FED. R. CIV. P. 37(b)(2). Furthermore, Local Rule 5.5(c)(2) dictates that it is the duty of any
party proceeding pro se to “monitor the progress of the case, and to prosecute or defend the
action diligently.”
IT IS SO ORDERED this 2nd day of April 2012.
