Present: The Honorable STANLEY BLUMENFELD, JR., U.S. District Judge
CIVIL MINUTES - GENERAL
Proceedings: (IN CHAMBERS) Order to Show Cause re: Dismissal for Lack of Prosecution
Generally, defendants other than the United States must answer the complaint within 21 days after service. See Fed.R.Civ.P. 12(a)(1). On April 21, 2022, Plaintiff filed proof that Defendant Allen Properties-Group 36, LLC was served on January 19, 2022. Dkt. No. 9. A responsive pleading was due on February 9, 2022. None has been filed. Plaintiff timely requested for the Clerk to enter default but has not filed a motion for default judgment. Plaintiff is ordered to show cause, in writing, no later than August 1, 2022, why this action should not be dismissed for lack of prosecution.
The Court will consider as an appropriate response to this Order to Show Cause the filing, on or before the above date, of a motion for default judgment. 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.
Upon the filing of the motion for default judgment, this Order to Show Cause will be automatically discharged without further order. Failure to respond to the Order to Show Cause will result in the dismissal without prejudice of the action in its entirety.
