WILLIAM L. OSTEEN, United States District Judge
On July 2, 2002, the court ordered, with consent of the parties, that this matter be held in abeyance pending other action by the Plaintiff. Having heard nothing from the parties, the court inquired by letter of March 13, 2003, whether the plaintiff had proceeded with administrative remedies. The parties were directed to respond by April 1, 2003.
The Defendant, through its attorney within time, responded that nothing had been heard from Plaintiff or his attorney. The Plaintiff's attorney has not responded within time set by the court.
The court finds this matter should be dismissed for failure to timely proceed as directed by the court.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that this proceeding should be and is hereby dismissed for failure of the Plaintiff to proceed.
