(IN CHAMBERS) ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE RE DISMISSAL FOR
LACK OF PROSECUTION

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 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.
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 to show cause in
writing no later than September 22, 2017, why this action should not be dismissed as to
Virginia Cervantes for lack of prosecution.
As an alternative to a written response by plaintiff, 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.
•

Defendant Virginia Cervantes’ Answer to Complaint or Plaintiff’s Request
for Entry of Default on defendant.

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.
Plaintiff is to serve notice of this Order on all parties in this action.
