ORDER
CARLOS E. MENDOZA UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
THIS CAUSE is before the Court upon sua sponte review. This Court entered an Initial Order (Doc. 4), which reminds the parties of their obligations under Local Rule 3.02. (Id. at 2). That Rule states that “within forty days after any defendant appears in an action originating in this court,” or “within forty days after the docketing of an action removed or transferred to this court,” “[t]he parties must file [a] case management report.” M.D. Fla. R. 3.02(b)(1)-(2). The parties were also warned that failure to comply with any Local Rules or Court Orders may result in the imposition of sanctions including, but not limited to, the dismissal of this action without further notice. (Notice to Counsel and Parties, Doc. 5). The parties have failed to file a case management report, and the time to do so has passed.
If fault for noncompliance lies entirely with Defendant, Plaintiff may seek reconsideration on that basis.
Therefore, it is ORDERED and ADJUDGED as follows:
1. This case is DISMISSED without prejudice.
2. Any motion for reconsideration must be filed within fourteen days of this Order, comply with all Local Rules, and include the following:
a. a certification that the pro se Plaintiff has personally read the Court's Initial Order and the Local Rules cited therein;
b. an explanation for why the deadline was missed; and c. as a separate docket entry, the Case Management Report.
3. The Clerk is directed to close this case.
DONE and ORDERED.
