CIVIL MINUTES - GENERAL

PRESENT: THE HONORABLE R. GARY KLAUSNER, UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE

Proceedings: (In Chambers) Order to Show Cause re Dismissal for Lack of Prosecution

Absent a showing of good cause, an action must be dismissed without prejudice if the summons and complaint are not served on a defendant within 90 days after the complaint is filed. Fed.R.Civ.Proc. 4(m). Generally, defendants must answer the complaint within 21 days after service (60 days if the defendant is the United States). Fed.R.Civ.Proc. 12(a)(1).

In the present case, it appears that one or more of these time periods has not been met. Accordingly, the court, on its own motion, orders plaintiff(s) to show cause in writing on or before March 28, 2022 why this action should not be dismissed for lack of prosecution as to defendants Donald Stojack, Anthony Simonie, Tyler Ellison and David Greenlee. Pursuant to Rule 78 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the court finds that this matter is appropriate for submission without oral argument. The Order To Show Cause will stand submitted upon the filing of plaintiff's response. If plaintiff files

[ ] Proof of TIMELY service of summons and complaint

x A TIMELY answer by the following defendant(s):

David Greenlee (answer was due 2/28/22)

[ ] Plaintiff's motion for default judgment pursuant to Rule 55b of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure as to defendant(s):

on or before the date indicated above, the court will consider this a satisfactory response to the Order To Show Cause. If a satisfactory response is not filed by the date listed above, the matter will be dismissed for lack of prosecution.
