GARTEL CORP.,
Defendant.

15

On May 21, 2012, the Clerk of Court entered default against Gartel Corp. (ECF

16

No. 16.) Since then, the Court stayed the case pending Gartel’s bankruptcy filing. On

17

January 31, 2013, the Court lifted the stay because Gartel’s bankruptcy case was

18

closed without discharge. (ECF No. 26.) No activity has occurred since that time.

19

Accordingly, Plaintiffs are hereby ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE, in writing

20

no later than April 1, 2013, why this case should not be dismissed for failure to

21

prosecute. The Court will discharge this order to show cause upon receipt of a noticed

22

motion for default judgment from Plaintiffs. Failure to timely respond to this order

23

will result in the dismissal of this case.

24

IT IS SO ORDERED.
