CIVIL MINUTES - GENERAL
Proceedings (In Chambers): ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE
Defendants must answer the complaint within 21 days after service (60 days if the defendant is the United States). FED. R. CIV. P. 12(a). In the present case, it appears that this has not taken place. Accordingly, the Court, on its own motion, orders plaintiff to show cause in writing on or before July 21, 2022, why this action should not be dismissed for lack of prosecution.

The Order to Show Cause will stand submitted on that date.
Filing of the following on or before the date indicated above will constitute a satisfactory response to the Order to Show Cause:
[x] An appearance by all defendants who have been served or an application for entry of default pursuant to Rule 55(a) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure [as to iHeartMedia, Inc.]
IT IS SO ORDERED.
