(Judge Nealon)

ORDER
On March 3, 2017, Plaintiff, Anthony R. Bowers, filed the above-captioned
action against Defendants Penn Credit and Debt Recovery Solutions. (Doc. 1).
On that same date, a summons was issued as to Defendants and provided to
Plaintiff’s counsel. (Doc. 2). On April 3, 2017, the Court issued its Case
Assignment and Procedures letter. (Doc. 3). On April 6, 2017, Plaintiff filed a
waiver of service executed by Penn Credit. (Doc. 4). Pursuant to that waiver of
service, Penn Credit was to file a responsive pleading in this matter on or before
May 8, 2017. (Id.). To date, however, no responsive pleading has been filed, nor
has there been a request by a defendant to extend the time to file such.
ACCORDINGLY, ON THIS 24TH DAY OF MAY, 2017, IT IS
HEREBY ORDERED THAT:
1.

The parties shall file a status report on or before June 7, 2017. The
status report shall advise the Court with any information relevant to
the disposition of this case.

2.

The Court notes that Plaintiff’s failure to file a response to this Order
on or before June 7, 2017, may result in dismissal of this case
without prejudice for failure to prosecute and comply with a court
order. See FED. R. CIV. P. 41(b).

3.

Plaintiff is forewarned that renewal of his claims after such a
dismissal would be subject to the applicable statute of limitations.
