HILARIO MEDINA,

MEMORANDUM DECISION &
DISMISSAL ORDER

Petitioner,
v.
STATE OF UTAH et al.

Case No. 2:15-CV-200-RJS

Respondents.

District Judge Robert J. Shelby

On October 25, 2016, this Court ordered Petitioner to within thirty days show cause why
his petition should not be dismissed for his failure to file a reply to Respondent’s motion to
dismiss his habeas-corpus petition. Petitioner still has not replied to Respondent’s answer--now
filed over five months ago. The Court has not heard from Petitioner again since September.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that Petitioner's petition is DISMISSED for failure to
obey to the Court’s order and to prosecute this case. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b); Link v. Wabash
R.R. Co., 370 U.S. 626, 630-31 (1962); Olsen v. Mapes, 333 F.3d 1199, 1204 n.3 (10th Cir.
2003). This case is CLOSED.
DATED this 21st day of December, 2016.
BY THE COURT:

JUDGE ROBERT J. SHELBY
United States District Court
