Proceedings: Order to Show Cause Re: Dismissal for Lack of Prosecution

Generally, defendants must answer the complaint within 21 days after service (60 days if the

defendant is the United States). Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(a)(1).

In the present case, it appears that this time period has not been met. Accordingly, the court, on

its own motion, orders plaintiff to show cause in writing on or before January 22, 2010, why this action

should not be dismissed for lack of prosecution. Pursuant to Rule 78 of the Federal Rules of Civil

Procedure, the court finds that this matter is appropriate for submission without oral argument. The

Order to Show Cause will stand submitted upon the filing of plaintiff’s response. Failure to respond to

this Order may result in the imposition of sanctions, including but not limited to dismissal of the

complaint. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
