The court issued a minute order on February 17, 2006

instructing plaintiff’s counsel to file a declaration as to the

status of this action. On February 27, 2006 and March 3, 2006

counsel filed declarations as to the status of this matter. 

Based on the representations of counsel it appears that

service has never been completed. Accordingly, the court makes

the following orders:

1. Plaintiff’s counsel, Mr. Jesse S. Kaplan, is ordered to

show cause why plaintiff's case should not be dismissed for

failure to prosecute. 

2. Plaintiff’s counsel shall file a response to the order

to show cause on or before March 20, 2006.

3. A hearing on this order to show cause is set for

Friday, March 24, 2006 at 10:00 a.m. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

DATED: March 13, 2006.
