Local Rule LR9-207. Dismissal of civil cases.

[Related Statewide Rules 1-041 and 1-55 NMRA] A. Dismissal for failure to proceed to judgment. If an examination of the case file reveals that (1) a cause is ready for default, or (2) there remains no issue for the consideration of the court, the court may direct counsel to proceed to judgment forthwith. On failure of counsel to submit judgment within thirty (30) days thereafter, the court may, of its own motion, dismiss the cause. B. Dismissal for inactivity. If an examination of the court file shows that no substantial activity has occurred in the action for a period of six (6) months or more, the court will send a notice to all parties of record that it intends to dismiss the action for lack of prosecution and that if no response to the same is received within fourteen (14) days the action will be deemed to be dismissed without prejudice. [LR9-403 recompiled and amended as LR9-207 by Supreme Court Order No. 16-8300- 015, effective for all cases pending or filed on or after December 31, 2016.]
