On August 20, 2018, I ordered the parties to file a Joint Status Report on February 19,

2019, describing the status of the related matter and whether this action should continue to be

14

stayed. Dkt. No. 52. No Status Report was filed.

On November 4, 2019, I issued an Order to Show Cause requiring plaintiff to file a Joint
