CORIZON HEALTHCARE, INC.
and DR. RONALD HIGGS,
Defendants.

MEMORANDUM
On December 21, 2012, plaintiff was ordered to complete and return the service
packets for the defendants within 20 days. Plaintiff was forewarned that failure to return the
completed service packets could jeopardize his prosecution of this action. Plaintiff has failed
to return the service packets or otherwise respond to the order of this court. Therefore, this
action will be DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE, sua sponte, for failure to prosecute
and to comply with the orders of this court. Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b); Jourdan v. Jabe, 951 F.2d
108 (6th Cir. 1991). The Court will CERTIFY that any appeal from this action would not
be taken in good faith and would be totally frivolous. See Fed. R. App. P. 24.
AN APPROPRIATE ORDER WILL ENTER.
