This matter comes before the Court sua sponte. On May 21, 2014, the Court entered an
Order in this case requiring Plaintiff to show cause why default judgment should be entered in
the amount claimed. See Dkt. #13. In lieu of a response, Plaintiff filed a Motion to Stay,
requesting a stay of further proceedings in this action pending resolution of the bankruptcy of
Defendant Jason R. Brown (Case No. 12-22025-MLB) and an adversary action filed by Triple
B in Bankruptcy Court (Case No. 13-01097-MLB). On November 25, 2014, the Court agreed
to stay the case, but ordered Plaintiff to file a status report within 90 days.
No status report was ever filed, several years passed, and on June 25, 2018, the Court
issued a Minute Order for the parties to file a Joint Status Report informing the Court of the

status of the case and why the stay should not be lifted. This Joint Status Report was to be filed
within 14 days. The Court has not heard from the parties.
The Court finds that Plaintiff has failed to comply with a Court Order and failed to
prosecute its case. In Response to this Order, Plaintiff must write a short and plain statement
telling the Court why this case should not be dismissed given the above. This Response may
not exceed six (6) pages.
The Court hereby finds and ORDERS that Plaintiff shall file this Response to this Order
to Show Cause no later than fourteen (14) days from the date of this Order. Failure to file
this Response will result in dismissal of this case.
