Order to Show Cause Re: Dismissal For Lack Of Prosecution

Generally, defendants must answer the complaint within 21 days after service (60 days if
the defendant is the United States). Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(a)(1).
In the present case, it appears that this time period has not been met. Accordingly, the
court, on its own motion, orders plaintiff to show cause in writing on or before August 9, 2022,
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 may result in the imposition of sanctions,
including but not limited to dismissal of the complaint.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
