Case No. 2:17-cv-00168-NJK
ORDER

16

Pending before the Court is an order for Defendant to show cause why default judgment should

17

not be entered for his failure to comply with the Court’s order to either indicate that he intends to

18

proceed pro se or file a notice of appearance by a new attorney. Docket No. 47. Defendant has now

19

responded by filing a notice that he intends to proceed pro se. Docket No. 48. The Court finds that

20

filing sufficient to avoid entry of default judgment. Nonetheless, the Court CAUTIONS Defendant that

21

he is required to comply with all Court orders and applicable rules moving forward. See, e.g., King v.

22

Atiyeh, 814 F.2d 565, 567 (9th Cir. 1987). Failure to do so may result in the imposition of sanctions,

23

including case-dispositive sanctions.
