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 May 25,
2012. See Filing No. 1. The plaintiff filed notice of executing a summons on the defendant

on June 4, 2012. See Filing No. 6. 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 2, 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.
