ORDER

DEBORAH BARNES, Magistrate Judge.

Plaintiff alleges, essentially, that her home was insured by defendant at the time the home caught fire, and that defendant conducted a fraudulent investigation into plaintiff's insurance claim. (ECF No. 7 at 1.) The matter came before the undersigned on May 18, 2018, for hearing of defendant's motion to compel pursuant to Local Rule 302(c)(1). (ECF No. 45.) Attorney Robbin Coker appeared telephonically on behalf of the plaintiff. Attorney Brian O'Conner appeared in person on behalf of the defendant.

On May 22, 2018, the undersigned issued an order granting defendant's motion to compel, ordering plaintiff to provide defendant discovery responses within twenty-one days, and ordering plaintiff's counsel to pay defendant $2,430 in sanctions within twenty-one days. (ECF No. 46.) On July 17, 2018, defendant filed a motion for sanctions due to plaintiff's failure to comply with the May 22, 2018 order. (ECF No. 47.) That motion seeks terminating and/or evidentiary sanctions, as well as an additional $2,940 in monetary sanctions. Nonetheless, plaintiff failed to file any response to defendant's motion.

Accordingly, on July 31, 2018, the undersigned issued to plaintiff an order to show cause.

Plaintiff's counsel Robbin Coker has repeatedly failed to diligently prosecute this action and comply with the court's orders. See ECF Nos. 12, 16, 24, 26, 29, 30, 33. On June 15, 2017, attorney Coker filed a declaration stating:

(ECF No. 36 at 2.) However, neither attorney Coker nor attorney McCann have complied with the undersigned's May 22, 2018, or July 31, 2018 orders.1

Despite repeated opportunities, plaintiff's attorneys have failed to prosecute this action, failed to oppose defendant's motion, and failed respond to orders from this court. As a result, defendant's motion will be granted with respect to the request for additional monetary sanctions due to the conduct of plaintiff's counsel. However, the undersigned remains concerned that plaintiff may be unaware of the conduct of plaintiff's counsel. The court will, therefore, make an additional effort to ensure plaintiff is informed about the status of this action.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Within fourteen days of the date of this order attorney Robbin Coker and attorney Robert McCann shall show cause in writing providing good cause for their conduct. The attorney's filings shall also address why the undersigned should not issue additional monetary sanctions against them, and why this action should not be dismissed for a failure to prosecute;

2. Within fourteen days of the date of this order attorney Robbin Coker or attorney Robert McCann shall serve on plaintiff a copy of defendant's July 17, 2018 motion as well as a copy of this order and file proof of such service;

3. Within fourteen days of the date of this order attorney Robbin Coker and/or attorney Robert McCann shall pay defendant an additional sanction of $2,9402;

4. Within fourteen days of the date of this order plaintiff shall comply with the May 22, 2018 (ECF No. 46) order;

5. Within fourteen days of the date of this order, defendant shall provide the court with plaintiff's last known address, so that the court may serve a copy of this order on the plaintiff at the last known address;

6. The August 31, 2018 hearing of defendant's motion for sanctions (ECF No. 47) is vacated;

7. Defendant's July 17, 2018 motion for sanctions (ECF No. 47) is granted in part as reflected above3; and

8. Plaintiff is again cautioned that the failure to timely comply with this order may result in a recommendation that this case be dismissed.
