Proceedings: [In Chambers] Order To Show Cause Re: Dismissal for Lack of Prosecution

Plaintiffs are ORDERED to show cause why this case should not be dismissed for lack of prosecution. Link v. Wabash R. Co.,

(1962). (Court has inherent power to dismiss for lack of prosecution on its own motion).

The below time period(s) has not been met. Accordingly, the Court, on its own motion, orders Plaintiffs to show cause, in writing, on or before October 3, 2025, why this action should not be dismissed for lack of prosecution. This matter will stand submitted upon the filing of Plaintiff(s) response. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 78. Failure to respond will be deemed consent to the dismissal of the action.

☒ Defendant 20,000.00 in US Currency, served by publication on September 30, 2025 (Dkt. No. 11), did not answer the complaint, yet Plaintiffs have failed to request entry of default, pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 55(a). Plaintiffs can satisfy this order by seeking entry of default or by dismissing the complaint.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
