Opinion
Case No. 12-11032
07-25-2012
JOANNE GIBSON, Plaintiff, v. BANK OF AMERICA, N.A., Defendant.
HON. GEORGE CARAM STEEH
ORDER DISMISSING CASE
On July 10, 2012, the court issued an order to show cause as to why this case should not be dismissed for failure to prosecute. On July 17, 2012, plaintiff filed a response to the show cause. In the response, plaintiff requests "time to amend the complaint and serve defendants for good cause." Plaintiff indicates an eviction case in state court has distracted her from pursuing this case. While she requests "time to amend the complaint and serve all parties," she fails to indicate how or why she requests amendment of the complaint. This action names only one defendant; plaintiff refers to "defendants" and serving "all parties" but fails to identify additional parties she wishes to add as defendants. Plaintiff alternatively asks this court to grant a voluntary dismissal without prejudice. The court GRANTS plaintiff's request to DISMISS the case without prejudice. IT IS SO ORDERED.
