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

This Order is issued pursuant to FRCP 4(m), which requires that plaintiff(s) serve the summons and
complaint upon all defendants within 90 days after filing the complaint. The Court may dismiss the action prior to
the 90 days, however, if plaintiff(s) has/have not diligently prosecuted the action.
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 May
31, 2016 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.
•

Request for entry of default by plaintiff(s) (applicable where defendants have been served but not
answered);

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.
