(In Chambers) Order to Show Cause Why Complaint Should Not Be
Dismissed for Failure to Prosecute

On February 2, 2014, Plaintiff Claudell Hatter, an inmate proceeding pro se, filed
a civil rights complaint pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On March 11, 2014, the Court
issued an Order Re Service of Process (Docket No. 6) ordering, among other things, that
"[w]ithin thirty (30) days of this Order, plaintiff shall file with the Court copies of the
USM-285 forms he has submitted to the United States Marshal."
As of this date, Plaintiff has failed to file the USM-285 forms as required by the
March 11, 2014 Order.
It therefore appears that plaintiff has failed to follow the Court’s Order.
Accordingly, within fourteen (14) days of the date of this Order, that is, by August 4,
2014, plaintiff is ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE, in writing, why this action should
not be dismissed for failure to prosecute and/or comply with a court order. Alternatively,
Plaintiff can discharge this order by filing copies of the USM-285 forms he submitted to
the United States Marshal by August 4, 2014.
Plaintiff is cautioned that his failure to timely file a response to this Order to Show
Cause will be deemed by the court as consent to the dismissal of this action without
prejudice.
