ORDER

Pursuant to this Court’s scheduling order (Doc. 5), Plaintiff’s opening brief was due

December 20, 2011. Plaintiff failed to file her opening brief by the deadline. As a result, on

January 5, 2012, the Court set a show cause hearing for January 11, 2012 requiring Plaintiff

to show cause why this case should not be dismissed for failure to prosecute.1

Plaintiff’s counsel filed a written response to the order to show cause, but failed to

appear for the January 11, 2012, hearing. To further give Plaintiff’s counsel every

opportunity to argue this case, the Court’s staff called Plaintiff’s counsel’s office and the

Court permitted Plaintiff’s counsel to appear telephonically. Plaintiff’s counsel sought an

extension of time to file the opening brief until February 5, 2012. The Court granted that

request.
