Link v. Wabash R. Co.,

(1962) (Court has inherent power to dismiss for lack of prosecution on its own motion). In the present case, it appears that the below time period has not been met. Accordingly, the Court, on its own motion, orders Plaintiff to show cause, in writing, on or before December 4, 2019, why this action should not be dismissed for lack of prosecution. Pursuant to Rule 78 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the Court finds that this matter is appropriate for submission without oral argument. The Order to Show Cause will stand submitted upon the filing of Plaintiffs response. Failure to respond to this Order to Show Cause will be deemed consent to the dismissal of the action. Defendant Legendary Sweat DTLA, LLC did not answer the complaint, yet Plaintiff has failed to request entry of default, pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 55(a). Plaintiff can satisfy this order by seeking entry of default or by dismissing the complaint. IT ISSO ORDERED.
