Williams v. NCB Management Services Incorporated

Filing 32

MEMORANDUM Order: It has been 2-1/2 months since plaintiff Pamela Williams ("Williams") moved to reopen this action, which had been dismissed because Williams' filing in bankruptcy had deprived her of standing to proceed as plaintiff in this Fair Debt Collection Act case. Because considering any such reopening necessarily depended on a return to the Bankruptcy Court so that appropriate steps could be taken to enable Williams to proceed with the case, on January 27 this Court is sued an oral ruling that continued Williams' motion generally to enable her to go before the Bankruptcy Court for that purpose.More than two months have elapsed since then, and Williams' counsel has done nothing to bring her case back to life in this District Court. Accordingly Williams' motion to reopen (Dkt. No. 28) is denied. Signed by the Honorable Milton I. Shadur on 4/4/2017:Mailed notice(clw, )

Case No. 16 C 9322

MEMORANDUM ORDER
It has been 2-1/2 months since plaintiff Pamela Williams ("Williams") moved to reopen
this action, which had been dismissed because Williams' filing in bankruptcy had deprived her of
standing to proceed as plaintiff in this Fair Debt Collection Act case. Because considering any
such reopening necessarily depended on a return to the Bankruptcy Court so that appropriate
steps could be taken to enable Williams to proceed with the case, on January 27 this Court issued
an oral ruling that continued Williams' motion generally to enable her to go before the
Bankruptcy Court for that purpose.
More than two months have elapsed since then, and Williams' counsel has done nothing
to bring her case back to life in this District Court. Accordingly Williams' motion to reopen
(Dkt. No. 28) is denied.
