assigned magistrate judge. 

As of February 15, 2006, plaintiff’s counsel has made no

further attempts to resolve this action. Accordingly, the court

makes the following orders:

1. Plaintiff’s counsel is ordered to show cause why he

should not be sanctioned in the amount of $150.00 for failing to

comply with the court’s June 6, 2005 order and to 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 1, 2006.

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

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

IT IS SO ORDERED.
