KIMBERLY G. ALTMAN UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
This is a consumer rights action. Plaintiffs James Theodore Aleck and Tia Danielle Fraser, proceeding pro se, are suing defendants Havenpark Management, LLC and Springbrook Estates over a dispute related to their agreements to lease a manufactured home and land in Romeo, Michigan. See ECF No. 1. The original lease agreements were executed on September 1, 2020, and expired on August 31, 2021. (ECF No. 1, PageID.22). At the time plaintiffs filed this lawsuit, there was a related eviction action pending in state court. (Id., PageID.34). Under 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1), all pretrial matters have been referred to the undersigned. (ECF No. 10).
On February 1, 2024, the undersigned entered an Order to Show Cause ordering defendants to mail various filings to plaintiffs and file certificates of service on the docket by February 12, 2024, for those mailings. (ECF No. 44). Defendants filed a timely response to the Order to Show Cause explaining their previous efforts to serve plaintiffs by mail, (ECF No. 45), and also the requisite certificates of service, (ECF Nos. 46, 47, 48). Based on defendants' filings, the Order to Show Cause is SATISFIED.
Plaintiffs' response to defendants' dispositive motion, (ECF No. 41), is due by March 13, 2024. Defendants' reply to plaintiffs' response will be due 14 days after plaintiffs' response is filed.
SO ORDERED.
