WHEREAS, a hearing was held on December 17, 2019, for Plaintiff to show cause why this case should not be dismissed for failure to prosecute;
WHEREAS, at the show cause hearing, Plaintiff's counsel stated that Plaintiff has not participated in this litigation or communicated meaningfully with counsel for several months. Although Plaintiff was served with Orders regarding the hearing, Plaintiff did not appear for the hearing. It is hereby
ORDERED that Plaintiff's counsel, Sean Patrick Constable and Marc Twyman Wietzke, are relieved of their representation of Plaintiff. Mr. Constable and Mr. Wietzke are respectfully directed to serve a copy of this Order on Plaintiff. It is further

The Clerk of Court is respectfully directed to (1) terminate Mr. Constable and Mr. Wietzke as Plaintiff's counsel of record and (2) to close this action.
