ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

This case is before the magistrate judge for full pretrial supervision. Pursuant to
NECivR 41.2, which states in pertinent part: “At any time, a case not being prosecuted with
reasonable diligence may be dismissed for lack of prosecution.” The complaint was filed
on October 12, 2011. According to the returned summons [8], the defendant was served
on December 7, 2012. Apparently, the defendant has failed to timely answer or otherwise
respond to the complaint. It remains plaintiff's duty to go forward in prosecuting the case.
There has been no activity in this case since the return of service docketed on
December 13, 2011.
IT THEREFORE IS ORDERED that plaintiff shall show cause why this case should
not be dismissed for failure to prosecute. The showing of cause shall be filed electronically
on or before the close of business on May 3, 2012.
DATED: April 3, 2012.
BY THE COURT:

s/F.A. Gossett, III
United States Magistrate Judge
