ORDER
J. RANDAL HALL, Chief District Judge.
On December 6, 2016, Plaintiff initiated this action seeking, inter alia, to foreclose on an interest allegedly held in real property located in Vidalia, Georgia. (Doc. 1.) On June 14, 2017, Plaintiff filed an amended complaint. (Doc. 13.) On July 10, 2017, default was entered against Defendants John Gunde Sock a/k/a John Tunde Sock, Etta Wilicia Boss-Cole, Anna Claxton, and Amos Financial, LLC. (Doc. 15.) On October 9, 2017, Plaintiff filed a Motion for Consent Judgment as to Defendant United States and Default Judgment against Defendants Sock, Cole, Claxton, and Amos (the "Motion for Default Judgment"). (Doc. 17.) Because the Court "harbor[ed] reservations regarding Plaintiff's standing. Defendants' liability, and Plaintiff's damages," inter alia, the Court reserved final ruling on Plaintiff's Motion for Default Judgment until an evidentiary hearing was held thereon.1 (See Doc. 18, at 2-3.)
The evidentiary hearing on the Motion for Default Judgment was held on November 27, 2017, at which Plaintiff and Defendants United States and Claxton appeared. (See Doc. 19.) During that hearing. Plaintiff conceded that the Court's reservations were well-founded but asserted that Plaintiff could assuage these concerns if given additional time to submit additional evidence in support of its claims. (Id.) The Court interpreted Plaintiff's statements as a request to continue and adjourned the hearing. (Id.)
Since the adjournment of the evidentiary hearing, no substantive filings or other actions have been made in this Court. Indeed, to date, Plaintiff has failed to: (a) file any additional evidence in support of its claims or Motion for Default Judgment; (b) seek an extension of time to do so; or (c) otherwise communicate to the Court its intent to pursue this matter further. Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Plaintiff's Motion for Default Judgment is DENIED WITHOUT PREJUDICE. Further, Plaintiff is reminded that its failure to prosecute this action in a timely fashion may result in the dismissal of this action, without prejudice, without further notice.
ORDER ENTERED at Augusta, Georgia, this April, 2018.
