(Doc. 16.) On May 21, 2010, counsel for Plaintiff timely filed a response to the Order to Show Cause. (Doc. 17.) Specifically, counsel for Plaintiff indicates a calendaring error caused her to fail to respond as ordered on April 28, 2010. (Krank Decl., ¶ 5.) Nevertheless, counsel indicates she has now complied with this Court's earlier order by performing additional efforts to locate Plaintiff Jose Jimenez. (Krank Decl., ¶¶ 3-4, 6.) Counsel declares that she eventually contacted her client via telephone on May 20, 2010, and received his permission to dismiss this matter. (Krank Decl, ¶ 7.) Lastly, counsel indicates that she "plans on filing a Stipulation to Dismiss Case on or about May 24, 2010 . . .." (Doc. 17 at 1-2.) // 1 v. MICHAEL J.

This Court accepts Attorney Krank's explanation and DISCHARGES the Order to Show

Additionally, while it appears a hearing on counsel's motion to withdraw as attorney (see Doc. 13) is unnecessary in light of the foregoing, the matter will remain on this Court's calendar as a status conference, at which all counsel may appear telephonically. In the event a stipulation to dismiss this action and/or a notice of withdrawal of the motion is filed prior to May 28, 2010, the status conference will be taken off this Court's calendar.

IT IS SO ORDERED. Dated:

May 24, 2010
