Proceedings: (IN CHAMBERS) ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE RE DISMISSAL RE LACK OF PROSECUTION
The Court, on its own motion, orders Plaintiff to show cause in writing no later than November 3, 2011, why this action should not be dismissed for lack of prosecution. In the absence of showing good cause, a matter shall be dismissed if the summons and complaint have not been served within 120 days after the filing of the complaint pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(m). An action may be dismissed prior to such time if the Plaintiff fails to diligently prosecute the action. The Order to Show Cause will stand submitted upon the filing of an appropriate response. No oral argument will be heard unless otherwise ordered by the Court.
Counsel for Plaintiff is advised that the Court will consider the filing of a responsive pleading to the complaint and/or proof(s) of service, which indicates proper service in full compliance with the federal rules, on or before the date upon which the response is due, as a satisfactory response to the Order to Show Cause.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
