IN CHAMBERS - ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE WHY THIS CASE SHOULD
NOT BE DISMISSED FOR LACK OF PROSECUTION

It is the responsibility of plaintiff to respond promptly to all Orders and to prosecute the action
diligently, including filing proofs of service and stipulations extending time to respond. If necessary,
plaintiff(s) must also pursue Rule 55 remedies promptly upon default of any defendant. All stipulations
affecting the progress of the case must be approved by the Court, Local Rule 7-1.
The file in this case lacks the papers that would show it is being timely prosecuted, as reflected
below. Accordingly, the Court, on its own motion, hereby orders plaintiff (s) to show cause in writing no
later than APRIL 29, 2013, why this action should not be dismissed as to all remaining defendants for lack
of prosecution.
As an alternative to a written response by plaintiff(s), the Court will accept one of the following, if it
is filed on or before the above date, as evidence that the matter is being prosecuted diligently.
•

Defendant’s answer to complaint or Plaintiff’s Request for
Entry of Default

No oral argument of this matter will be heard unless ordered by the Court. The Order will stand
submitted upon the filing of a responsive pleading or motion on or before the date upon which a response by
plaintiff(s) is due.

Plaintiff is to serve notice of this Order on all parties who have not yet appeared in this action.
