On July 8, 2022, the parties jointly stipulated to extend this deadline through August 10. Dkt. No. 10. Although Proof of Service has not been filed, the parties jointly stipulated that Defendant was served a copy of the complaint on June 20, 2022. Id. Defendant has not filed a responsive pleading and Plaintiff has not requested entry of default. Plaintiff is ordered to show cause, in writing, no later than August 18, 2022, why the case should not be dismissed for lack of prosecution.
No oral argument on this matter will be heard unless otherwise ordered by the Court. See Fed.R.Civ.P. 78; Local Rule 7-15.
