Opinion
Case No. 13CV15
01-11-2013
Powell, Kenneth Plaintiff v. Social Security Office Defendant
COURT USE ONLY
ORDER REGARDING SERVICE OF PROCESS
THIS MATTER comes before the Court on sua sponte review following filing.
Plaintiff(s) is directed to obtain service of process in this action within 30 days of the date of this Order.
Plaintiff(s) is to seek entry of default judgment or dismiss claims as to any party served with process that has not filed a responsive pleading within 45 days of service. Consequently, Plaintiff(s) is not to agree to extensions of time to respond to the Complaint that would exceed this 45 day limit.
Failure to comply with the deadlines established in this Order constitutes a failure to prosecute this action diligently and is grounds to dismiss this action without prejudice. Actions dismissed pursuant to the terms of this Order will not be subject to reinstatement as an active case unless relief from this Order is permitted by, and is granted in accordance with, the Colorado Rules of Civil Procedure. See generally C.R.C.P. 59 and 60 (stating limited grounds for seeking relief from judgments or orders).
All parties represented by counsel are directed to serve a copy of this Order on pro se litigants without delay.
BY THE COURT:
