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 August 7, 2014, why this action
should not be dismissed for lack of prosecution as to defendants China Shipping (North America)
Agency Co., Inc., China Ocean Shipping Company Americas, Inc., China Shipping Container Lines,
Co., Ltd., Nippon Yusen Kaisha, and Cosco Container Lines America, Inc. (collectively “Defendants”).
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 as to Defendants.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
