On November 10, 2016, the Court continued the case management conference to March 7,

13

2017, because Plaintiffs failed to timely file a case management statement. (Dkt. No. 17.) Plaintiff

14

Tiffany De Paz was also advised that a guardian ad litem cannot represent her minor children, so

15

they would have to obtain counsel. Id. at 1. The Court also issued an order to show cause to Mrs.

16

De Paz to explain why the case should not be dismissed for failure to prosecute, given that she had

17

now failed to file case management statements on two separate occasions. Id. at 2. The last day to

18

respond was December 15, 2016. To date, no response has been filed.

19

Accordingly, Tiffany De Paz is ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE by February 17, 2017

20

why the case should not be dismissed for failure to prosecute. Specifically, Mrs. De Paz shall

21

explain why she did not timely file the case management statements, and whether she intends to

22

prosecute this case. Failure to respond by the deadline may result in the case being dismissed

23

without prejudice for failure to prosecute.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
