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

Plaintiff is 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 the below time period has not been met.
Accordingly, the Court, on its own motion, orders Plaintiff to show cause, in writing, on
or before May 27, 2024, 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 Highsman, Inc. did not answer the complaint, yet Plaintiff has
failed to request entry of default, pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 55(a).
Plaintiff can satisfy this order by seeking entry of default or by dismissing
the complaint.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
