(In Chambers) Order to Show Cause re: Dismissal for Lack of Prosecution

Plaintiff filed his Complaint on August 10, 2017, without prepayment of the filing fees or
requesting to proceed in forma pauperis. See Dkt. 1, 2. On September 20, 2017, the Court directed
the Clerk to send Plaintiff blank copies of the Court’s form CV-60P, a request to proceed without
prepayment of filing fees with declaration in support, as well as a blank civil rights complaint. Dkt.
4. The Court ordered Plaintiff to submit a completed CV-60P within 21 days of the date of that
order. Id.
Plaintiff did not file the completed CV-60P form by the deadline. Nor has Plaintiff sought an
extension of time in which to do so. Plaintiff’s failure to take any action for over seven months
evidences a failure to prosecute. Accordingly, on or before May 31, 2018, Plaintiff is ORDERED to
show good cause in writing why the Court should not dismiss this action for failure to prosecute.
Plaintiff is expressly warned that if he fails to file a timely response to this Order, the Court
may recommend dismissal of this action for lack of prosecution.
