Proceedings: (IN CHAMBERS) Order to Show Cause re Dismissal for
Lack of Prosecution
Generally, each Defendant must answer or otherwise respond to the
complaint within 21 days after service (60 days if the Defendant is the United
States). Fed. R. Civ. Proc. 12(a)(1).
In the present case, it appears that Plaintiff served the summons and
complaint on one or more Defendants more than 21 days ago (60 days if the
Defendant is the United States), but such Defendant(s) did not file an answer or
otherwise respond to the complaint. Accordingly, the Court, on its own motion,
hereby orders Plaintiff to show cause in writing on or before May 23, 2024, why
this action should not be dismissed, with respect to each Defendant who has not
filed an answer or otherwise responded to the complaint. Pursuant to Rule 78 of
the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the court finds that this matter is appropriate
for submission without oral argument. This Order to Show Cause will be
discharged if Plaintiff files, before the deadline set forth above, a request for the
entry of default with respect to the applicable Defendant(s).
Fed. R. Civ. Proc. 55(a).
IT IS SO ORDERED.
