PAULA WHITEROCK,

Plaintiff,

v.

OLD REPUBLIC DEFAULT 

MANAGEMENT SERVICES, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 15-cv-01033-KAW 

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE; ORDER 

CONTINUING HEARING ON MOTION 

TO MAY 21, 2015

Re: Dkt. No. 8

On December 10, 2014, Plaintiff Paula Whiterock, proceeding pro se, filed this mortgage 

case against Defendants Old Republic Default Management Services and Manufacturers and 

Traders Trust Company (“M&T”). (Compl., Dkt. No. 1, Ex. 1.) On March 11, 2014, M&T filed a 

motion to dismiss in this action, which was joined by co-defendant Old Republic. (Dkt. Nos. 8 & 

12.)

Pursuant to Civil Local Rule 7-3, Plaintiff’s opposition was due on March 30, 2015. 

Plaintiff did not file an opposition.

Accordingly, by no later than May 1, 2015, the Court orders Plaintiff to (1) show cause 

why her case should not be dismissed for failure to prosecute, and (2) file either an opposition to 

the motion to dismiss or a statement of non-opposition to the motion to dismiss. The response to 

this order to show cause and the opposition should be filed as separate documents. Failure to 

timely file both documents may result in the dismissal of this action for failure to prosecute. See

Judge Westmore’s General Standing Order ¶ 22 (“The failure of the opposing party to file a 

memorandum of points and authorities in opposition to any motion shall constitute consent to the 

granting of the motion”).

To aid in her compliance with this order, Plaintiff may wish to consult a manual the court
