Case No: 02-61457-CIV-ALTONAGA/Bandstra
August 18, 2003
ORDER OF DISMISSAL
THIS CAUSE came before the Court upon a sua sponte review of the record.
The record reflects that on July 23, 2003, this Court ordered the Plaintiff, Shatha Atiya Hassan, to secure new counsel by August 1, 2003, and further ordered new counsel or the Plaintiff, proceeding pro se, to file a notice of appearance by such date ( D.E. 20)). The Court's July 23, 2003 Order cautioned that failure to comply would result in the case being dismissed without prejudice. The time to comply has passed and, to date, counsel has not filed a notice of appearance on behalf of the Plaintiff, nor has Plaintiff filed a notice of intent to proceed pro se. It is, therefore
ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that this case is DISMISSED without prejudice. The Clerk is instructed to CLOSE the case.
DONE AND ORDERED.
