CIVIL ACTION

VERSUS

NO. 11-2614

TERREBONNE PARISH SCHOOL BOARD, ET AL

SECTION "N" (5)

ORDER AND REASONS
From the Court’s review of the record in this matter, it appears that, on or around
June 14, 2012, Defendants Randy Rochel and Shantel Rochel received service in accordance with
Rule 4 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, but thereafter failed to file any of the responsive
pleadings required by Rule 12 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. See Rec. Docs. 25 and 28.
Accordingly, considering that the final pre-trial conference in this matter is scheduled to be held on
Thursday, October 25, 2012, followed by trial on Monday, November 5, 2012, IT IS ORDERED
that, on or before October 25, 2012, Plaintiffs must move for entry of default against these
defendants, pursuant to Rule 55 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, or show good cause in
writing why their claims against these defendants should not be dismissed without prejudice for
failure to prosecute. If Plaintiffs do not timely move for entry of default, or show good cause in

writing their claims should not be dismissed, the Court, without further notice to Plaintiffs, may
dismiss these defendants without prejudice in accordance with Rule 16(f) of the Federal Rules of
Civil Procedure.
New Orleans, Louisiana, this 16th day of October 2012.
