MAGISTRATE JUDGE MARK A. RANDON
ORDER DENYING WITHOUT PREJUDICE PLAINTIFF'S MOTION FOR CIVIL
CONTEMPT (DKT. NO. 30) AND ORDERING DEFENDANT TO SHOW CAUSE WHY
HE SHOULD NOT BE HELD IN CONTEMPT
On December 17, 2009, Plaintiff, a prisoner in the Michigan Department of Corrections, filed a §1983 Complaint against Defendant. (Dkt. #1). The United States Marshals Service personally served Defendant on January 30, 2012. Defendant's Answer was due by February 21, 2012. Defendant failed to respond.
On July 18, 2012, this Magistrate Judge ordered Defendant to file a responsive pleading to Plaintiff's Complaint by August 13, 2012. (Dkt. #27). The Court warned Defendant that failure to do so may result in an order to show cause why Defendant should not be held in contempt for failing to comply with a Court Order. (Dkt. #27 at 2). Before the Court is Plaintiff's Motion for Civil Contempt Against Defendant. (Dkt. #30).
Plaintiff's motion is DENIED WITHOUT PREJUDICE. Defendant is ORDERED to appear, in person, at 231 W. Lafayette Room 602 on September 11, 2012 at 10:00 a.m. to show cause why he should not be held in contempt for failing to comply with the Court's Order. Failure to appear for the show cause hearing will result in an order of contempt.
IT IS ORDERED.
