(In Chambers) ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE RE FAILURE TO
TIMELY FILE A THIRD AMENDED COMPLAINT

After screening Plaintiff Michael F. Langrock’s (“Plaintiff’s”) Second Amended
Complaint, on July 13, 2017, the Court issued an order dismissing the Second Amended
Complaint with leave to amend. (Dkt. No. 20.) The Court’s order noted that Plaintiff
sufficiently pled claims against two individuals but that other claims were subject to dismissal.
Plaintiff was given until August 3, 2017, to file a Third Amended Complaint if he wished to
proceed in this matter.
The Court’s July 13 order specifically warned Plaintiff that his failure to timely file an
amended complaint could result in the dismissal of this action with or without prejudice on the
grounds stated in the order or for failure to diligently prosecute. (Dkt. No. 20 at 9.) However, to
date, the Court has not received a Third Amended Complaint, or any other filing, from Plaintiff.
In light of the foregoing, IT IS ORDERED that Plaintiff must show cause, in writing, on
or before September 5, 2017, why this case should not be dismissed for failure to prosecute and
to comply with Court orders. Alternatively, Plaintiff may file a Third Amended Complaint in
accordance with the Court’s July 13, 2017 Order Dismissing Second Amended Complaint with
Leave to Amend. (See Dkt. No. 20.) Plaintiff’s failure to timely respond to this Order will
result in a recommendation that this case be dismissed.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
