ORDER DISMISSING CASE without prejudice for failure to prosecute. Signed by District Judge Robert H. Cleland. (LWag)

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN
SOUTHERN DIVISION

JOE HAND PROMOTIONS, INC.,
Plaintiff,
Case No. 12-15096

v.
CHARLOTTE J. SANABRIA, et al.,
Defendants.
/

ORDER DISMISSING ACTION FOR FAILURE TO PROSECUTE
This is an illegal-broadcast action brought by Joe Hand Promotions, a regular
litigant that needs, at times, to be reminded to prosecute. See, e.g., Joe Hand v.
Marlow, 12-15167 (Dkt. # 7) (E.D. Mich. 2013) (directing Joe Hand to address a failure
to prosecute); Joe Hand v. Yono, 12-14655 (Dkt. # 6) (E.D. Mich. 2013) (same); Joe
Hand v. Molika, 12-13449 (Dkt. # 11) (E.D. Mich. 2012) (same). The action began in
November 2012. Almost nine months later, in July 2013, no service or other progress
had occurred, so an order issued directing Joe Hand to show cause why the action
should not be dismissed. See E.D. Mich. LR 41.2. Its meager response alleges
“diligence,” but offers no facts to substantiate the allegation. Plaintiff has done nothing
of substance to prosecute since January 2013, eight months ago. Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED that the action is DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE for
failure to prosecute.
