It directed Plaintiff's counsel to serve copies of the minute order on all parties who appeared after the order was filed and instructed that Plaintiff's counsel would be responsible for starting the communications needed to comply with the minute order. Id. On December 15, 2023, the Court issued a Notice to Parties providing a reminder that the December 4 deadline had passed and that failure to comply promptly could result in dismissal. Dkt. 11.
On December 27, 2023, the Court entered an Order to Show Cause, which provided that by January 10, 2024, Plaintiff must show cause why this case should not be dismissed without prejudice under Fed.R.Civ.P. 16(f)(1) and 37(b)(2)(A)(v). Dkt. 12.
