Case No. 1:17-cv-097

Plaintiff initiated the above-entitled action by Complaint on May 12, 2017. The Clerk’s

ORDERED that plaintiff shall file a report by April 6, 2018, advising the court of the status of this
action. Failure to submit a status report to the court may result in the dismissal of this action. See
Miller v. Benson, 51 F3d. 166, 168 (8th Cir. 1995) (“District courts have inherent power to dismiss
sua sponte a case for failure to prosecute, and we review the exercise of this power for abuse of
discretion”); see also Sterling v. United States, 985 F.2d 411, 412 (8th Cir. 1993) (same); Fed. R.
