ORDER DISMISSING CASE

On April 1, 2014, this Court terminated the proceedings against Defendant FFE
Transportation Services, Inc. (Docket No. 20 [4/1/14 Order].) Because Plaintiff had not served
any of the four remaining Defendants in the seven months since he filed his complaint, the Court
ordered Plaintiff to show cause why the claims against them should not be dismissed, and this
case closed for lack of prosecution. (Id. at 2.) Any response was to have been submitted no later
than April 15, 2014. (Id.)
That time has now come and gone, but Plaintiff has not responded to the Court’s order.
Accordingly, Plaintiff’s complaint is hereby DISMISSED in its entirety. See Link v. Wabash R.
Co., 370 U.S. 626, 631 (1962) (“The authority of a court to dismiss sua sponte for lack of
prosecution has generally been considered an ‘inherent power’ . . . .”). The Court Clerk is
directed to close this case.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
