MEMORANDUM
AND ORDER

This matter is before the court on its own motion. On March 6, 2012, the
parties submitted a Status Report. (Filing No. 25.) In the Status Report, the parties
stated Defendants were awaiting a demand from Plaintiffs as part of their alternative
dispute resolution (“ADR”) effort to resolve this matter. (Id.) The parties stated that
they would update the court regarding their progress no later than April 4, 2012. (Id.)
The parties failed to update the court by this deadline. (See Docket Sheet.)

On July 17, 2012, the court directed the parties to update the court regarding

(Id.) In light of this, Cabela’s and Pawlak shall have until August 21, 2012, to file an
answer or otherwise plead. In the event that Cabela’s and Pawlak do not file an
