UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
MIDDLE DISTRICT OF FLORIDA
FORT MYERS DIVISION
MARK PATRICK LANGE,
Plaintiff,
v.
Case No.: 2:22-cv-323-JLB-KCD
LEE COUNTY SHERIFF,
Defendant.
/
ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE
Plaintiff Mark Lange filed a complaint on May 19, 2022. (See Doc. 1.)
He also sought leave to leave to proceed in forma pauperis. (Doc. 2.) The Court
denied Plaintiff’s motion (Doc. 7) and ordered him to pay the filing fee by July
21, 2022. No filing fee has been paid, and Plaintiff has otherwise not responded.
“Whenever it appears that any case is not being diligently prosecuted the
Court may, on motion of any party or on its own motion, enter an order to show
cause why the case should not be dismissed, and if no satisfactory cause is
shown, the case may be dismissed by the Court for want of prosecution.” M.D.
Fla. R. 3.10(a). It appears here that Plaintiff is not diligently prosecuting this
action and, thus, he must show cause why he failed to comply with the Court’s
July 7, 2022, Order (Doc. 5) and why this action should not be dismissed for
want of prosecution. Plaintiff may discharge this Order to Show Cause by
paying the filing fee and proceeding with service of process.
Accordingly, the Court ORDERS:
1.
No later than August 12, 2022, Plaintiff must show cause why
he failed to comply with the Court’s July 7, 2022 Order (Doc. 5) and
why this action should not be dismissed for want of prosecution.
2.
To otherwise discharge this Order to Show Cause, Plaintiff may
pay the filing fee and proceed with service of process before the
deadline specified above.
3.
If Plaintiff fails to comply with this Order, the undersigned
will recommend to the presiding United States District
Judge that this action be dismissed.
ORDERED in Fort Myers, Florida on July 29, 2022.
