FOR LACK OF PROSECUTION

The Court, on its own motion, hereby ORDERS plaintiff(s) to show cause (OSC) in writing
no later than SEPTEMBER 12, 2012 why this action should not be dismissed for lack of
prosecution. As an alternative to a written response by plaintiff(s), the Court will consider the filing
of one of the following, as an appropriate response to this OSC, on or before the above date:
X Proof of service of summons and complaint as to defendants
X Answer by the defendant(s) or plaintiff's request for entry of default.
Absent a showing of good cause, an action shall be dismissed if the summons and complaint
have not been served upon all defendants within 120 days after the filing of the complaint. Fed. R.
Civ. P. 4(m) The Court may dismiss the action prior to the expiration of such time, however, if
plaintiff(s) has/have not diligently prosecuted the action.
It is the plaintiff’s responsibility to respond promptly to all orders and to prosecute the action
diligently, including filing proofs of service and stipulations extending time under Rule 55 remedies
promptly upon default of any defendant. All stipulations affecting the progress of the case must be
approved by the Court. Local Rule 7-1
