ORDER
TIMOTHY J. CORRIGAN, UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
Gabrielle Alexa Penalta, counsel for plaintiff in each of the above cases, has been repeatedly advised of the requirement that she follow the Local Rules of this Court. See, e.g., GS Holistic, LLC vs. Martin & Company, Inc., Case No. 3:22-cv-1362-HES-PDB (Docs. 11, 14, 15) (orders and hearing minutes noting Ms. Penalta's failure to follow rules of this Court); GS Holistic, LLC vs. Venice Smoke Shop #3, Inc., No. 3:22-cv-1364-HES-PDB (Doc. 16) (order requiring Ms. Penalta to file a certification that she has read the Local Rules and will comply with them); IMiracle (HK) Limited vs. Okie Smoky LLC, Case No. 3:22-cv-1389-MMH-MCR (Doc. 40) (order recounting numerous cases in which plaintiff's counsel, Ms. Penalta, has failed to follow the Local Rules and describing her practice in this Court as “exceedingly careless,” warning Ms. Penalta that future violations will carry consequences throughout the district). See also GS Holistic, LLC vs. Brother Pastor LLC, No. 8:22-cv-2179-VMC-TGW (Doc. 34) (order granting motion for sanctions based on actions of plaintiff's counsel, Ms. Penalta, including misrepresentations to the Court).
In each of the above cases listed in the caption, Ms. Penalta has failed to take some action required by the Local Rules of this Court by either failing to timely file a case management report, failing to timely move for clerk's default or default judgment. She has been repeatedly warned. Enough is enough. Each of the above listed cases are dismissed without prejudice. The Clerk shall close these files.
DONE AND ORDERED.
