Sarah Gardea v. FedEx Ground Package System, Inc. et al
Present: The Honorable SHERILYN PEACE GARNETT UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
CIVIL MINUTES - GENERAL
Proceeding: (IN CHAMBERS) ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE RE: DISMISSAL FOR LACK OF PROSECUTION
Plaintiff(s) are ORDERED to show cause why this case should not be dismissed for lack of prosecution. Link v. Wabash R. Co., 370 U.S. 626 (1962) (Court has inherent power to dismiss for lack of prosecution on its own motion).
The below time period(s) has not been met. Accordingly, the Court, on its own motion, orders Plaintiff(s) to show cause, in writing, on or before December 5, 2022, why this action should not be dismissed for lack of prosecution. This matter will stand submitted upon the filing of Plaintiff(s) response. See Fed.R.Civ.P. 78. Failure to respond will be deemed consent to the dismissal of the action.
Defendant FedEx Ground Package System, Inc. did not answer the complaint, yet Plaintiff(s) have failed to request entry of default, pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 55(a). Plaintiff(s) can satisfy this order by seeking entry of default or by dismissing the complaint.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
