[In Chambers] Order To Show Cause Regarding Dismissal for Lack of
Prosecution

Plaintiff(s) are ORDERED to show cause why this case should not be dismissed, for lack of prosecution.
Link v. Wabash R. Co., 370 U.S. 626 (1962) (Court has inherent power to dismiss for lack of prosecution
on its own motion).
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 August 17, 2017, why
this action should not be dismissed for lack of prosecution. 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 to Show Cause will be deemed consent to the dismissal of the action.
Defendant Raquel Trifon did not answer the complaint, yet Plaintiff(s) have failed to
request entry of default, pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 55(a). Plaintiff(s) can satisfy this
order by seeking entry of default or by dismissing the complaint.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
