ORDER

On July 6, 2011, attorney John F. Martin, on behalf of the United States Government,
filed this foreclosure claim. Summonses and a lis pendens were issued that same date.
However, no proof of service upon the defendants was ever provided by counsel.
On February 18, 2014, this court issued an order directing counsel to immediately
notify the court, in writing, of the status of this matter and to show cause as to why this action
should not be dismissed for failure to prosecute. More than 30 days has elapsed and counsel
has failed to contact or notify the court of the status of this action.
For the foregoing reasons, this action is dismissed without prejudice for failure to
prosecute pursuant to Rule 41of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
