This matter came before the court on its own motion to dismiss this case for lack of prosecution.
A case management conference was scheduled at 9:30 a.m. on June 14, 2018, to consider Plaintiff's appeal. On May 22, 2018, the court sent notice of the scheduled case management conference to Plaintiff at the email address Plaintiff provided to the court. That notice advised that if Plaintiff did not appear, the court might dismiss the appeal.
Plaintiff failed to appear for the scheduled case management conference. On June 15, 2018, the court sent Plaintiff a letter. The court's letter ordered Plaintiff to submit a written explanation by July 2, 2018, for its failure to appear. As of this date, Plaintiff has not submitted a written response to the court's letter explaining its failure to appear. Under such circumstances, the court finds the appeal must be dismissed for lack of prosecution. Now, therefore, / / /
IT IS THE DECISION OF THIS COURT that Plaintiff's appeal is dismissed.
Dated this ___ day of August 2018.
