Consistent with the recommendation by the Magistrate Judge, Defendants' Motion to Dismiss for Lack of Prosecution (Doc. 20) is GRANTED, and Plaintiff's Complaint (Doc. 5) is DISMISSED, for the reasons stated in the Motion and due to Plaintiff's failure to respond to the Show Cause Orders (Doc. 16 and 22) or to prosecute this matter. In addition, Defendants' Motion for Summary Judgment (Doc. 15) 1 is DENIED as moot. IT IS SO ORDERED. s/Michael R. Barrett Michael R. Barrett, Judge United States District Court 2
