ORDER

Defendants.
KATHERINE POLK FAILLA, District Judge:
During a default judgment hearing held on May 12, 2021, Plaintiffs’
counsel, Ge Qu, informed the Court that communications between counsel and
Plaintiffs Feng Wu Du and Chong Chen had ceased and thus counsel sought to
withdraw from his representation of those two Plaintiffs. (Minute Entry for May
12, 2021). The same day, the Court entered an Order to Show Cause why
counsel should not be permitted to withdraw from the representation and why
the matter should not be dismissed as to Plaintiffs Feng Wu Du and Chong
Chen for failure to prosecute. (Dkt. # 143). Plaintiffs Du and Chen were
ordered to file opposition papers on or before June 3, 2021, and to appear for a
hearing on June 11, 2021, and were advised that failure to respond would
result in dismissal of the action as to them. (Id.). Du and Chen neither filed
opposition papers nor appeared for the hearing.
Accordingly, Attorney Qu’s motion to withdraw as counsel is GRANTED,
and this action is hereby DISMISSED as to Plaintiffs Feng Wu Du and Chong
Chen. As all claims have now been resolved, the Clerk of Court is directed to

terminate all pending motions, adjourn all remaining dates, and close this
case.
SO ORDERED.
Dated: June 11, 2021
