ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE
RICARDO S. MARTINEZ CHIEF UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
This matter comes before the Court on First Bank & Trust d/b/a First Line Funding Group's (“First Bank”)'s Motion for Summary Judgment. Dkt. #33. Attached to that Motion is a proposed order for the Court to order Defendants to show cause why their answer should not be stricken and default entered for failing to be represented by local counsel (or any counsel, for that matter) and failing to participate in the Joint Status Report. See Dkt. #33-1, see also Dkt. #31 (Status Report filed only by Plaintiff); Dkt. #33 (setting forth argument).
The Court, having considered the motion, the proposed order, and the remainder of the record, hereby ORDERS Defendants Complete Communications, Inc., James Conner, and Sarah Conner to SHOW CAUSE why the Court should not enter default or grant the pending summary judgment Motion. Defendants shall file a response no later than thirty (30) days from the date of this Order. The Court DIRECTS Plaintiff to serve this Order on Defendants.
