NELSON S. ROMÁN, United States District Judge:
On February 2, 2023, the Court issued an Order to Show Cause directing pro se Plaintiff

for the Court to dismiss without prejudice for want of prosecution under Fed R. Civ. P. 41(b). (ECF

directing Plaintiff to file an amended complaint to assert Title VII claims against the New York
State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision (“DOCCS”) by March 23, 2020.
(Id., citing ECF No. 77.)
On February 28, 2023, Plaintiff responded to the order to show cause in writing expressing
her intention to continue prosecuting her case. (ECF No. 89.) On March 3, 2023, Plaintiff filed a
letter to the Court indicating that she was having a phone conference with the N.Y. Legal
Assistance Group to discuss her amended complaint in her case.
In light of Plaintiff’s response, the Court VACATES the Order to Show Cause. Plaintiff is
DIRECTED to provide an update to the Court, in writing, on or before April 5, 2023 indicating
whether she plans on filing a Second Amended Complaint.
