CIVIL ACTION

ORDER
February 3, 2014
Hennessy, M.J.

On October 9, 2013, this Court entered an order allowing Plaintiff Ronald E. Egan, M.D.,
to amend his complaint to substitute Kathleen Sebelius, Secretary of the United States
Department of Health and Human Services, for John Polanowicz, Secretary of the Executive
Office of Health and Human Services. (Docket #19). On December 10, 2013, the Court entered
an order requiring Dr. Egan to file an amended complaint with the appropriate substitution by
January 10, 2014. (Docket #20). On January 9, 2014, Dr. Egan filed a Motion to Amend his
Complaint to substitute Kathleen Sebelius for John Polanowicz. (Docket #21). The Court
denied this motion as moot on January 13, 2014. (Docket #22). The Court stated that it had
already granted Dr. Egan permission to file an amended complaint and ordered Dr. Egan to file
an amended complaint in which he substituted the name “Kathleen Sebelius, Secretary of the
United States Department of Health and Human Services” for that of “John Polanowicz,

Secretary of the Executive Office of Health and Human Services” by January 31, 2014. Dr.
Egan has yet to file his amended complaint.
Dr. Egan is hereby ORDERED to file his amended complaint by February 21, 2014.
Failure to do so may result in dismissal of his action for failure to prosecute. See Local Rule of
the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts 41(b)(1). If he has any
questions concerning filing the amended complaint he should contact Lisa Belpedio, Courtroom
Deputy, at 508-929-9905.
