Case No.: 1:15-cv-01487 --- JLT
ORDER TO PLAINTIFFS TO SHOW CAUSE
WHY THE MATTER SHOULD NOT BE
DISMISSED OR SANCTIONS IMPOSED DUE
TO THEIR FAILURE TO PROSECUTE THE
ACTION

On September 30, 2015, Plaintiffs initiated this action in which they claim that Defendants

17

committed various labor law violations. (Doc. 1) On October 1, 2015, the Court issued summonses.

18

(Doc. 2) Nevertheless, Plaintiffs failed to effect service until the Court ordered them to show cause

19

why sanctions should not be imposed for their failure to prosecute the action. (Doc. 4; Docs. 6-5)

20

Now, though the responsive pleadings were due on January 25, 2016, Plaintiffs have taken no action

21

to seek default. Therefore, within 21 days Plaintiffs SHALL show cause in writing why sanctions,

22

including terminating sanctions, should not be imposed for their further failure to prosecute this action.

23

Alternatively, they may seek the clerk’s entry of default within and then file their request for default

24

judgment within 21 days of this order.
