42 U.S.C. § 12181

ef seg. Dkt. 1 (“Complaint”). On May 21, 2024, the Court referred this case to United States Magistrate Judge Gary Stein for general pretrial supervision. Dkt. 5. After Kimera failed to respond to the Complaint or otherwise appear, on July 15, 2024, Fernandez obtained a certificate of default from the Clerk of Court, Dkt. 9, but she did not move for default judgment against Kimera. On October 8, 2024, having heard nothing from Fernandez in the interim, Judge Stein ordered Fernandez, by October 23, 2024, to show cause why the case should not be dismissed for failure to prosecute, pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b).

Judge Stein advised that Fernandez could show cause by filing a motion for default judgment, and that if she did not show cause, her case may be dismissed. □□□ The deadline set by the October 8, 2024 Order has long passed, but Fernandez has yet to move for default judgment or show cause. Accordingly, under Rule 41(b) and the Court’s
