This matter comes before the Court on review of the file. On October 18, 2018, the Court entered an Order to Show Cause (Doc. 6) directing Plaintiff to show cause on or before November 5, 2018, why this case should not be dismissed for want of prosecution pursuant to M.D. Fla. R. 3.10(a). The Order to Show Cause was entered because Plaintiff had failed to keep the Court apprised of her current address and the Court's Orders sent to the address of record were being returned as undeliverable. See docket entry dated October 15, 2018. The Court notified Plaintiff that her failure to respond to the Order to Show Cause would result in the dismissal of this action without further notice. Doc. 6 at ¶ 2. As of the date of this Order, Plaintiff has not filed a response to the Show Cause Order nor has she independently provided the Court with a current address.
M.D. Fla. R. 3.10(a) provides that "[w]henever it appears that any case is not being diligently prosecuted the Court may, on motion of any party or on its own motion, enter an order to show cause why the case should not be dismissed, and if no satisfactory cause is shown, the case may be dismissed by the Court for want of prosecution." --------
The Court has taken reasonable steps to provide Plaintiff an opportunity to respond or show good cause. The Court finds that Plaintiff has failed to prosecute this action.
Accordingly, it is now
ORDERED:
1. This case is DISMISSED without prejudice pursuant to M.D. Fla. R. 3.10(a).
2. The Clerk of the Court shall terminate any outstanding motions and close this case.
DONE and ORDERED in Fort Myers, Florida this 14th day of November 2018.
