ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE AND CONTINUING STATUS (PRETRIAL SCHEDULING) CONFERENCE
GARLAND E. BURRELL, Senior District Judge.
The March 4, 2015, Order to Show Cause ("OSC") scheduled a status conference in this case on April 20, 2015, and required the parties to file a joint status report no later than fourteen (14) days prior to the scheduling conference. No status report was filed as ordered.
Therefore, Plaintiff is Ordered to Show Cause1 in a writing to be filed no later than April 20, 2015, why sanctions should not be imposed against her and/or her counsel under Rule 16(f) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure for failure to file a timely status report. The written response shall also state whether Plaintiff or her counsel is at fault, and whether a hearing is requested on the OSC.2 If a hearing is requested, it will be held on October 26, 2015, at 9:00 a.m.
Further, although the Clerk has entered default against each named defendant, and Plaintiff's counsel declared in his March 13, 2015 response to the March 4, 2015 OSC that he "w[ould] promptly file a motion for entry of default judgment," no such motion has been filed. (Resp. to OSC &9, ECF No. 15.) Therefore, Plaintiff shall file a motion for entry of default judgment before the Magistrate Judge no later than May 1, 2015. If Plaintiff fails to timely file the motion, Plaintiff shall show cause in writing no later than May 4, 2015, why this action should not be dismissed for failure of prosecution. This action may be dismissed with prejudice under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b) if Plaintiff fails to timely respond to this Order.
Also, the status conference scheduled for hearing on April 20, 2015, is continued to commence at 9:00 a.m. on October 26, 2015. Plaintiff shall file a status report no later than fourteen (14) days prior to the status conference, in which she explains the status of the default proceedings.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
