Carl A. Wescott v. Jessica Jackley et al
PRESENT THE HONORABLE SHERILYN PEACE GARNETT, U.S. DISTRICT JUDGE
CIVIL MINUTES - GENERAL
Proceedings: [In Chambers] Order To Show Cause Re: Dismissal for Lack of Prosecution
Plaintiff(s) are ORDERED to show cause why this case should not be dismissed for lack of prosecution. Link v. Wabash R. Co., 370 U.S. 626 (1962) (Court has inherent power to dismiss for lack of prosecution on its own motion).
The below time period(s) has not been met. Accordingly, the Court, on its own motion, orders Plaintiff(s) to show cause, in writing, on or before September 22, 2022, why this action should not be dismissed for lack of prosecution. This matter will stand submitted upon the filing of Plaintiff(s) response. See Fed.R.Civ.P. 78. Failure to respond will be deemed consent to the dismissal of the action.
Defendant Jessica Jackley did not answer the complaint, yet Plaintiff(s) have failed to request entry of default, pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 55(a). Plaintiff(s) can satisfy this order by seeking entry of default or by dismissing the complaint.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
