ORDER

This matter is before the court sua sponte, and 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.” In this case the complaint was filed on December
6, 2011. See Filing No. 1. The plaintiff filed notice of executing a summons on the

defendants on March 23, 2012. See Filing Nos. 8 and 9. No other progress has taken
place in this matter. It remains the plaintiff’s duty to go forward in prosecuting the case by,
for example, filing a motion for clerk’s entry of default pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 55 and
NECivR 55.1(a), as appropriate. Upon consideration,

IT IS ORDERED:
The plaintiff has until the close of business on August 6, 2012, to file a motion for
clerk’s entry of default or show cause why this case should not be dismissed for failure to
prosecute.
Dated this 16th day of July, 2012.
