In response to the Court’s Order to Show Cause Why Case Should Not Be Dismissed For

18

Failure to Prosecute, ECF No. 20, Plaintiff Jack Loumena filed a response indicating that

19

“Plaintiff has diligently and with great effort pursued discovery and has engaged in settlement

20

negotiations with Defendant Walter P Hammon in particular.” ECF No. 21 (Response) at 1. The

21

Response does not explain why Plaintiff failed to timely file a response to the Defendants’ Motion

22

to Dismiss, ECF No. 3. Nonetheless, because Plaintiff has responded to the Order to Show Cause,

23

the Court will not dismiss the case for failure to prosecute and will decide the Motion to Dismiss

24

on the merits. The briefing on the Motion to Dismiss is now closed, and the Court will not

25

consider any further briefing on the Motion to Dismiss. The hearing on the Motion to Dismiss

26

remains set for March 12, 2015 at 1:30 p.m.
