[In Chambers] Order To Show Cause Regarding Dismissal for Lack of
Prosecution

Counter-Claimant(s) are ORDERED to show cause why this case should not be dismissed, for lack of
prosecution. Link v. Wabash R. Co., 370 U.S. 626 (1962) (Court has inherent power to dismiss for lack
of prosecution on its own motion).
The Court, on its own motion, orders Counter-Claimant(s) to show cause, in writing, on or before
September 1, 2016, why this action should not be dismissed for lack of prosecution. Pursuant to Rule 78
of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the Court finds that this matter is appropriate for submission
without oral argument. The Order to Show Cause will stand submitted upon the filing of
Counter-Claimant(s) response. Failure to respond to this Order to Show Cause will be deemed consent to
the dismissal of the action.
Counter-Defendant(s) Disney Enterprises, Inc.; Lucasfilm Ltd LLC; Twentieth
Century Fox Film Corporation; and Warner Bros Entertainment Inc did not answer
the complaint, yet Counter-Claimant(s) have failed to request entry of default, pursuant to
Fed. R. Civ. P. 55(a). Counter-Claimant(s) can satisfy this order by seeking entry of
default or by dismissing the complaint.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
