Case No. 2:16-cv-02028-JAD-NJK
ORDER
(Docket No. 35)

15

Pending before the Court is the order for Plaintiff to show cause why certain defendants should not

16

be dismissed for failure to prosecute. Docket No. 35.1 In particular, that order noted that the amended

17

complaint continued to identify 10 Doe Defendants despite more than eight months in which Plaintiff could

18

conduct discovery, and further that no action had been taken against a named Defendant (John Koehly) who

19

had been served but had not yet appeared. Id. Plaintiff has now filed a response. Docket No. 51.

20

Following the issuance of the order to show cause, Plaintiff voluntarily dismissed the remaining Doe

21

Defendants. Docket No. 39. As such, that issue is now moot. Also following the issuance of the order to

22

show cause, Plaintiff has moved forward with its claims against Mr. Koehly by obtaining Clerk’s default.

23

Docket No. 46. Given the circumstances, the Court will discharge the order to show cause with respect to

24

Mr. Koehly.

A second order to show cause was issued in this case. Docket No. 33. Plaintiff was given an
extension to respond to that order to show cause, Docket No. 49, and it remains pending. This order does
not resolve the issues raised therein.

For the foregoing reasons, the pending order to show cause at Docket No. 35 is hereby
DISCHARGED.
