CAROL MIRANDO, Magistrate Judge.
This matter comes before the Court upon review of Plaintiff's Motion for Order Permitting Filing of Unilateral Case Management Report and for Sanctions (Doc. 43) filed on July 8, 2016. On March 14, 2016, Plaintiff filed a complaint against Khulna Inc., Torre Deontray Fulcher, Le Gourmet India LLC, China Taste Inc. of Fort Myers, Milton Townsend, and Jackie's Eyebrow Threading Nails Salon Inc., alleging violations of the Americans with Disabilities Act, 42 U.S.C. § 12181, et seq. Doc. 1.
On April 20, 2016, Defendant Milton Townsend, appearing pro se, filed an "Answer" seeking dismissal of this case against him. Doc. 17 at 1. On June 14, 2016, the Court entered an Order to Show Cause against Plaintiff as to why service had not been effected on the remaining Defendants
On June 24, 2016, Plaintiff filed a Motion for Clerk's Entry of Default as against the remaining Defendants. Doc. 36. The Court granted the motion with respect to Defendants Torre Deontray Fulcher, Khulna, Inc., and Le Gourmet India, LLC, and denied it without prejudice with respect to Defendants China Taste Inc. of Fort Myers and Jackie's Eyebrow Threading Nails Salon Inc. Doc. 41 at 6. On July 8, 2016, Plaintiff filed the instant motion seeking to sanction the only Defendant who appeared and remained in this case as of the date of filing the motion, and seeking leave to file a unilateral case management report due to Defendant Townsend's failure to confer and complete a case management report. Doc. 43. Since the filing of the motion, Jackie's Eyebrow Threading Nails Salon Inc. has filed an answer (Doc. 44) and Torre Fulcher has filed a Motion to Set Aside Clerk's Default. Doc. 48. Because other Defendants have appeared, Plaintiff's request to file a unilateral case management report will be denied.
With respect to Plaintiff's request to sanction Defendant Townsend, a court has the inherent power to police its docket. Link v. Wabash Railroad Co., 370 U.S. 626, 629-30 (1962). Thus, incident to this power, a court may impose formal sanctions upon dilatory litigants. "The sanctions imposed can range from a simple reprimand to an order dismissing the action with or without prejudice." Mingo v. Sugar Cane Growers Co-op of Florida, 864 F.2d 101, 102 (11th Cir.1989). The Court notes that since the filing of the instant motion, Defendant Townsend has filed an Amended Motion to Dismiss (Doc. 50); however, he has failed to respond to the instant motion. The fact that a party has a pending motion to dismiss does not negate his duty to participate in the case management conference and to confer with other parties to complete a case management report. Because of his pro se status, the Court will not impose any formal sanctions against Defendant Townsend at this time. The Court will warn Defendant Townsend, however, that failure to comply with this Order may result in sanctions, including striking any of his pleadings from the court file.
ACCORDINGLY, it is hereby
1. Motion for Order Permitting Filing of Unilateral Case Management Report and for Sanctions (Doc. 43) is
