ORDER OF DISMISSAL
On June 15, 2012, Defendants filed a Motion to Dismiss. After Plaintiff, who is not
represented by counsel, failed to file a response, the Court issued an Order to Show Cause on July
23, 2012, wherein the Court ordered:
1.
Plaintiff to SHOW CAUSE, in writing, no later than 5:00 p.m. on August 7,
2012, why this case should not be dismissed for failure to prosecute.
2.
[I]f Plaintiff desires to file a separate substantive response to the Motion to
Dismiss, the Court hereby ORDERS Plaintiff to file a response no later than
5:00 p.m. on August 7, 2012. If Plaintiff’s response to the Motion to Dismiss
is not filed by 5:00 p.m. on August 7, 2012, the Court will consider
Plaintiff’s failure to prosecute to have prejudiced Defendants, and the case
may be dismissed with prejudice.
Three days later Plaintiff contacted the Undersigned’s Chambers, regarding an adjourned scheduling
conference and the Court’s July 23, 2012, Order. Plaintiff, however, never indicated any reason why
she would be unable to file a response to the Court’s Order to Show Cause.
Today is August 14, 2012. Plaintiff has yet to respond to the Court’s July 23, 2012, Order
to Show Cause and still has not responded to Defendant’s Motion to Dismiss. Accordingly, for the
reasons stated in the July 23, 2012, Order to Show Cause, the Court hereby DISMISSES Plaintiff’s
cause of action, with prejudice.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
