(IN CHAMBERS) ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE REGARDING LACK
OF PROSECUTION
On October 18, 2011, the Court vacated the Defendants’ pending motions to dismiss,
ordered the parties to engage in loan modification settlement proceedings, and otherwise stayed
this action pending completion of such proceedings and the filing of a joint status report
informing the Court as to the outcome. (Doc. 37.) On April 23, 2012, Defendants filed a status
report informing the Court that, despite six loan modification readiness conferences before this
Court, Plaintiff has failed to provide to Defendants all documents necessary to evaluate his loan
modification. (Doc. 60 at 2.) Defendants further notified the Court that Plaintiff’s counsel
advised Defendants’ counsel that he has not received the necessary loan modification documents
from Plaintiff. (Id. at 3.) Plaintiff’s failure to provide the necessary documents has required
postponement of the loan modification settlement conference on two occasions. (Id. at 2.) As a
result, the Attorney Settlement Officer directed counsel to notify the Court that the loan
modification settlement proceedings have concluded without resolution. (Id. at 3.)
The Court considers good faith participation in mandatory loan modification settlement
proceedings to be part of the required prosecution of this matter. As set forth above, Plaintiff has
failed to participate in those proceedings. Accordingly, Plaintiff is ordered to show cause in
writing no later than May 11, 2012, as to why this matter should not be dismissed for lack of
prosecution. The failure to respond by that date will result in this matter being administratively
closed.
