Rule 40(c). Dismissal of inactive cases.
In the absence of a showing of good cause for retention, any
action, appeal or proceeding, except for guardianships,
conservatorships, and probate proceedings, in which no action has
been taken or in which the summons has not been issued and served,
for a period of six (6) months shall be dismissed. Dismissal
pursuant to this rule in the case of appeals shall be with
prejudice and as to all other matters such dismissal shall be
without prejudice. At least 14 days prior to such dismissal, the
clerk shall give notification of the pending dismissal to all
attorneys of record, and to any party appearing on that party's own
behalf, in the action or proceeding subject to dismissal under this
rule.
