ORDER
VERNON S. BRODERICK, UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
Plaintiff filed this action on February 2, 2022, (Doc. 1), and Defendant appeared on March 6, 2022, (Doc. 5). On March 14, 2022, Plaintiff returned a summons indicating that Defendant had been served on February 25, 2022. (Doc. 7.) Defendant's response to Plaintiff's complaint was thus due on March 18, 2022. (Id.) Defendant has yet to respond to the complaint. Plaintiff, however, has taken no action to prosecute this case. Accordingly, if by April 1, 2022, Defendant has still not filed a response to Plaintiff's complaint, then Plaintiff must seek default judgment in accordance with Rule 4(H) of my Individual Rules and Practices in Civil Cases by no later than April 15, 2022. If Plaintiff fails to do so or otherwise demonstrates that he does not intend to prosecute, I will dismiss this case for failure to prosecute pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b).
SO ORDERED.
