There has been no response filed to the Order to Show Cause, nor has a proof of service been filed indicating that the summons and complaint have been served on Defendants or their respective counsel. Therefore, the Court dismisses the matter for lack of prosecution and failure to follow the Court's Orders. (Made JS-6. Case Terminated.) (jp)

Kronstadt: The Court, on its own motion, orders Plaintiff to show cause in writing no later than April 27, 2021, why this action should not be dismissed for lack of prosecution. In the absence of showing good cause, an action shall be dismissed if the summons and complaint have not been served within 90 days after the filing of the complaint pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(m). An action may also be dismissed prior to such time if the Plaintiff fails diligently to prosecute the action. The Order to Show Cause will stand submitted upon the filing of an appropriate response.
