ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE RE DISMISSAL FOR LACK OF
PROSECUTION

On February 25, 2015, this Court issued a Case Management Order which directed plaintiff, who
is proceeding pro se, to file a motion for summary judgment or remand within thirty (30) days of service
of defendant’s Answer. On September 11, 2015, defendant filed and served plaintiff by mail with
defendant’s Answer. Accordingly, plaintiff’s motion for summary judgment or remand was due on
October 16, 2015. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 6(a)(1)(C), 6(d).
Although the foregoing deadline expired more than three weeks ago, to date, plaintiff has failed
to file a motion for summary judgment or remand as required by the Case Management Order. Nor has
plaintiff filed a request for an extension of time to file such motion.
The Court, on its own motion, hereby orders plaintiff to show cause in writing no later than
November 20, 2015, why this action should not be dismissed for lack of prosecution and/or based upon
plaintiff’s failure to comply with the Case Management Order. If plaintiff wishes to proceed with this
action, he must also file by no later than November 20, 2015, a motion for summary judgment or
remand or a request for an extension of time to do so which is supported by good cause.
Plaintiff is cautioned that failure to comply with this order and to file the above-referenced
documents by November 20, 2015, will result in the dismissal of this action based on plaintiff’s
failure to comply with the court’s order and/or failure to prosecute this action.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
