Order to Show Cause Re: Dismissal For Lack Of Prosecution

Generally, defendants must answer the complaint within 21 days after service (60 days if the
defendant is the United States). Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(a)(1).
In the present case, it appears that this time period has not been met. Accordingly, the court, on
its own motion, orders plaintiff to show cause in writing on or before January 22, 2014, why this action
should not be dismissed for lack of prosecution, as to defendant Frank Mosher (“Mosher”). Pursuant to
Rule 78 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the court finds that this matter is appropriate for
submission without oral argument. The Order to Show Cause will stand submitted upon the filing of
plaintiff’s response. Failure to respond to this Order may result in the imposition of sanctions, including
but not limited to dismissal of the complaint against Mosher.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
