ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

1.
In July, the parties informed the Court that this civil action had been settled and
that the action would be dismissed within a month. (Docket # 29.) On that basis, the Court
vacated the pending trial date. (Docket # 30.)
2.
Despite several informal calls from the Clerk, the parties have not followed
through on their promise to dismiss the action. It therefore remains active on the federal docket.
Regretfully, because the lawyers have not responded to informal measures, more formal ones
must be used to finish the case off.
3.
So, the parties and their trial attorneys are ORDERED to show cause why
sanctions should not be imposed under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11 and 41 for failure to
prosecute the action. Lead counsel for each side will be required to appear before Judge Wilner
on November 15 at 9:30 a.m. to respond to this OSC. Alternatively, the matter may be
discharged with no further consequence by filing a dismissal request by no later than
November 3.
