Unless otherwise ordered by the Court, cases which have had neither proceedings
nor pleadings, notices, or other documents filed for six (6) or more months may be
dismissed by the Court for want of prosecution. Notice must be given to the parties that
such action is contemplated, and the parties must be given the opportunity to show cause
why such action should not be taken. The Court may schedule a hearing on the issue.
