By Minute Order entered June 13, 2017, docket no. 11, the Court denied
plaintiffs’ motion for default judgment against defendant Mike Mattila because default
had not been entered against him. The Court also required plaintiffs to show cause by
June 23, 2017, why their claims against defendant 4 Seasons Mechanical should not be
dismissed for failure to timely effect service. Minute Order at ¶ 2 (docket no. 11). On
June 23, 2017, default was entered against Matilla, see Order (docket no. 14), and on
June 26, 2017, plaintiffs voluntarily dismissed their claims against 4 Seasons Mechanical,
see Notice (docket no. 15). Almost three months have elapsed since then without further
activity in this case, and plaintiff is DIRECTED to file, within twenty-eight (28) days of
the date of this Minute Order, either (i) a renewed motion for default judgment against
Matilla, or (ii) a status report indicating why such motion cannot or will not be filed and
whether the claims against Matilla may be dismissed without prejudice and without costs.
