ORDER
On February 7, 2014, the Court entered an Order granting a Motion to Withdraw filed by
Plaintiff Betty Simmons’ counsels. (ECF No. 297). In this motion, the Court ordered Simmons to
notify the Court within 30 days whether she intended to proceed pro se in this matter or with new
counsel. The Court mailed copies of the Order to Simmons.
On March 11, 2014, the Court ordered Simmons to show cause to the Court why she had
not responded to the Court’s February 7, 2014 Order and why her claims against Defendants
should not be dismissed. (ECF No. 301). Simmons’ response to the show cause order was due on
March 25, 2014. The Order stated that failure to comply would result in dismissal. The Court
mailed a copy of the Order to Simmons.
Plaintiff has failed to respond to the Show Cause Order and has failed to comply with the
Court’s February 7, 2014 Order. Accordingly, the Court finds that Simmons’ claims against
Defendants should be and hereby are DISMISSED pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b).
IT IS SO ORDERED, this 28th day of March, 2014.
