CASE NO. 2:15-CV-104-WKW
[WO]

ORDER
When the court granted Defendants’ motion to compel arbitration on March
31, 2015, it also ordered the parties to file jointly prepared status reports regarding
the arbitration proceedings every ninety days until resolution of the matter. (Doc.
# 35.) The parties’ last status report was filed on December 5, 2017, in which the
parties represented that they “will file a stipulation of dismissal or a status report
within 90 days.” (Doc. # 50, at 1.) They did not do so — which is not so
surprising since the court has had to order the parties to comply with their
obligation seven times now. (See Docs. # 38, 40, 42, 44, 47, and 49.)
Accordingly, it is ORDERED that on or before June 1, 2018, AND
EVERY 90 DAYS THEREAFTER UNTIL FINAL JUDGMENT IS

ENTERED IN THIS CASE, 1 the parties shall file the court-ordered status report.
It is suggested that the parties put a recurring reminder in their calendars so that the
court will no longer have to serve that function for them. In lieu of the status
report, if this action has settled, the parties may file a joint stipulation of dismissal
in accordance with Rule 41(a)(1)(A)(ii) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.
DONE this 25th day of May, 2018.
/s/ W. Keith Watkins
CHIEF UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE

The court puts this in all caps this time in an attempt to gain someone’s — anyone’s —
attention. The next failure to report timely will result in a dismissal.
