cure the identified deficiencies and warned plaintiff the court “anticipate[d] dismissing the case

against defendant Haneshinder Singh Chauhan” if plaintiff did not “adequately brief the issue of

damages in this case.” Minute Order, ECF No. 68. No further action has been taken by plaintiff

to complete litigation of this case.
