IN CHAMBERS - Order To Show Cause Re: Dismissal for Lack of Prosecution

Absent a showing of good cause, an action must be dismissed without prejudice if the summons and complaint are not
served on a defendant within 90 days after the complaint is filed. Generally, defendant must answer the complaint within
21 days after service (60 days if the defendant is the United States.)
In the present case, it appears that one or more of these time periods has not been met. Accordingly, the court, on its own
motion, orders plaintiff(s) to show cause in writing on or before October 2, 2017 why this action should not be
dismissed for lack of prosecution as to defendants Creative Forces Group, Inc., and Jim Martinson. As an alternative
to a written response by plaintiff(s), the Court will consider the filing of one of the following, as an appropriate response
to this Order To Show Cause, on or before the above date, as evidence that the matter is being prosecuted diligently:

Plaintiff's application for entry of default pursuant to Rule 55a of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure;
Plaintiff's request that the clerk enter default judgment or plaintiff's noticed motion for entry of default judgment
pursuant to Rule 55b of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.

It is plaintiff's responsibility 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 the default of any defendant. All stipulations affecting the progress of the case must be approved by this
Court. (Local Rules 7-1 and 7-2).
