_________________________________/
ORDER DISMISSING ACTION WITHOUT PREJUDICE
Plaintiff Nakisha Blakely (“Plaintiff”) has brought an action against Defendant
Chimko and Associates, P.C. (“Chimko”) alleging violations of the Fair Debt Collection
Practices Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1692 et seq. (See Compl., ECF #1 at ¶ 2, Pg. ID 1.) On
February 4, 2016, the Court entered a stipulated order (the “February 4 Order”) granting
the motion by Plaintiff’s prior counsel to withdraw and providing that “if no appearance
by an attorney is filed on behalf of Plaintiff within 45 days of the date of service, this
matter will be subject to dismissal without further action required by Defendant.” (See
ECF #14 at 2, Pg. ID 41.)
To date, no attorney has filed an appearance on behalf of Plaintiff and more than
45 days have lapsed since the February 4 Order’s date of service. Accordingly, IT IS
HEREBY ORDERED that this action is DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE.
