Plaintiff’s Status Report filed May 31, 2006, states that

“[a]ll named parties have been served, but have not answered.” (Pl.’s

Status Report at 2.) Nevertheless, Plaintiff’s Status Report

indicates that this action may be fully scheduled. Plaintiff has not

shown that the schedule he proposes should be adopted because

Plaintiff has not demonstrated that he is authorized to litigate this

action other than by way of default proceedings. With the exception

of the tentative statement that “Plaintiff may submit a request for

Clerk’s Entry of Default if Defendant does not show or respond to

Plaintiff’s Complaint[,]” Plaintiff’s Status Report is devoid of any

discussion of default proceedings. Since Plaintiff has not shown that

he may litigate this action apart from compliance with default

procedures, the Status (Pretrial Scheduling) Conference set for 

June 19, 2006, is rescheduled for September 25, 2006, at 9:00 a.m. 

Plaintiff shall file a further status report no later than 

September 11, 2006, in which he explains why this action should not be

dismissed for his failure to properly prosecute it or, in the

alternative, how and when the action will be properly prosecuted. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
