UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

KEVIN FRANKEN,

Plaintiff,

v.

RYAN McCARTHY,

Defendant.

No. 2:19−cv−02172−KJM−CKD PS

ORDER

Plaintiff initiated the present action on October 28, 2019. (ECF No. 1.) Plaintiff was

required to serve the one named defendant, Ryan McCarthy, within 90 days and inform the court 

within 10 days of service. (ECF No. 3.) The parties were also instructed to file a pretrial status 

report with the court no later than March 18, 2020, in preparation for the initial scheduling 

conference in this matter. (Id.)

All of these deadlines have passed, and plaintiff has taken no action in this matter since 

lodging his complaint and has failed to file any of the documents ordered by the court. (See 

generally docket.) Plaintiff has therefore failed to follow the court’s orders and failed to 

prosecute this matter.
