ORDER

THIS MATTER is before the Court sua sponte.
The Plaintiff initiated this action on June 15, 2012. [Doc. 1]. On
November 7, 2012, Plaintiff’s counsel was notified by the Clerk of Court
that he must file a motion for pro hac vice admission. To date, he has not
moved for admission.
On November 21, 2012, a Scheduling Order was entered in this
matter which required that Plaintiff’s Motion for Summary Judgment be filed
on or before January 22, 2013. [Doc. 16]. No such motion has been filed
by the Plaintiff.

The Court will therefore require the Plaintiff to show cause why this
action should not be dismissed for failure to prosecute.
IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED that on or before fifteen (15) days
from entry of this Order, the Plaintiff shall file response as to why this action
should not be dismissed for failure to prosecute.
Signed: February 4, 2013
