KURT A. BENSHOOF and BRIANA D. GAGE, Plaintiffs, v. CITY OF SHORELINE; KING COUNTY; TOWN & COUNTRY MARKETS; EVAN B. FAGAN; WILLIAM C. AKERS; and MR. THOMPSON, Defendants.
ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE
TANA LIN UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
This matter is before the Court sua sponte. On May 31, 2024, this Court ordered the Parties to confer and provide the Court with a combined Joint Status Report (“JSR”) and Discovery Plan by July 26, 2024. Dkt. No. 26 at 3-7; see Fed.R.Civ.P. 26(f). In the JSR, Defendants report that a conference with Plaintiff Benshoof took place on June 24, 2024. Dkt. No. 54 at 1. However, Defendants also report that “Plaintiff Gage did not participate in the FRCP 26(f) conference,” and that they “have had no communication with or from Plaintiff Gage.” Id. Further, Plaintiff Gage did not respond to the pending Motion to Dismiss (Dkt. No. 43).
Plaintiff Benshoof also did not respond, but Defendants report that he has been incarcerated in Seattle at the King County Correctional Facility since July 3, 2024-two days after the motion was filed. Dkt. No. 55 at 1.
Accordingly, Plaintiff Gage is ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE, within fourteen (14) days of this Order, why she should not be dismissed from this matter for failure to prosecute and failure to comply with a court order. See Fed.R.Civ.P. 41(b).
