IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLORADO
Judge Raymond P. Moore

Case No. 16-cv-00794-RM
ALAN DEATLEY
Plaintiff,
v.
THE STATE OF COLORADO, et al.,
Defendants.
______________________________________________________________________________
ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE
______________________________________________________________________________
Because of plaintiff Alan DeAtley’s (“plaintiff”) failure to prosecute this case, this matter
comes before the Court sua sponte.
This case was initiated on April 6, 2016, with the filing of a Complaint and the issuance of
Summons. (ECF Nos. 1, 3.) On April 7, 2016, this Court, inter alia, denied various motions seeking
emergency relief essentially because this Court was without jurisdiction to grant the requested relief.
(See ECF No. 8.) Since that Order nearly one year ago today, nothing has taken place in this case,
including no service of the Complaint on the numerous defendants.
As a result, the Court ORDERS plaintiff to SHOW CAUSE why this case should not be
dismissed for failure to prosecute. Plaintiff shall have twenty-one (21) days from entry of this Order
to respond. Failure to respond shall result in dismissal of this action without prejudice.
The Clerk is instructed to mail a copy of this Order to plaintiff.

SO ORDERED.
DATED this 30th day of March, 2017.
BY THE COURT:
