__________________________________________/
ORDER DISMISSING CASE FOR FAILURE TO PROSECUTE
On January 13, 2015, Defendant United States Department of Agriculture-Rural
Development removed this action from the 54th Circuit Court for the State of Michigan pursuant
to 28 U.S.C. § 1442. Plaintiff’s attorney, however, is not in good standing of the bar of the
Eastern District of Michigan and does not practice law in federal court.
On February 23, 2015, this Court directed Plaintiff to retain new counsel admitted to
practice in the Eastern District of Michigan by March 6, 2015. Plaintiff was warned that failure
to retain new counsel could result in dismissal of the case. Order 1, ECF No. 10. As of the date
of this Order, Plaintiff has not retained new counsel, and therefore his case will be dismissed for
failure to prosecute.
Accordingly, it is ORDERED that Plaintiff’s Complaint (ECF No. 1) is DISMISSED
WITHOUT PREJUDICE.
