On October 19, 2010, Defendant Weeks Wholesale Rose Grower, Inc., filed a notice of filing

19

bankruptcy. (Doc. 6) Soon thereafter, on December 3, 2010, the Court issued is acknowledgement of

20

the bankruptcy filing and ordered, “Plaintiff shall obtain an order for relief from stay of bankruptcy

21

as to said Defendants, or give notice of its intent to proceed with the balance of this action as to all

22

other Defendants except as to the bankrupt parties. Plaintiff shall notify the court within 45 days as

23

to the actions it has taken.” (Doc. 7, emphasis added) Despite this, Plaintiffs have never responded to

24

the Court’s order and the matter has languished.
