SOUTHERN DIVISION

LINDA GRIFFIN,
Plaintiff,
Case No. 12-14398

v.
CHRISTENE M. RICHTER, et al.,
Defendants.
/

ORDER DISMISSING THE ACTION FOR FAILURE TO PROSECUTE
During an October 24, 2012, status conference attended by pro se Plaintiff Linda
Griffin, one of Defendants said it intended to move to dismiss the action. The court
stated that Defendant had until October 31 to submit its motion and that Plaintiff had
until November 30 to submit a response. Both deadlines appear on the docket.
(Oct. 24, 2012, Minute Entry.) Defendant submitted its motion on October 30, but, more
than six weeks after Plaintiff’s November 30 deadline, no response appears. The other
Defendants submitted motions to dismiss on November 9 and November 13, but, again,
no response appears.
Despite receiving, at the status conference, reasonable notice of her duty to act,
see E.D. Mich. LR 41.2, Plaintiff remains absent. Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED that this action is DISMISSED for failure to prosecute.
