LORNA G. SCHOFIELD, District Judge.
WHEREAS, the Complaint in this matter was filed on August 25, 2020 (Dkt. No. 1). The Court adjourned the initial pre-trial conference from November 5, 2020, to December 3, 2020, to permit Plaintiffs to effect service (Dkt. No. 10).
WHEREAS, after Plaintiffs failed to timely serve Defendants, the Court directed Plaintiffs to serve the Complaint on Defendants and file proof of service (Dkt. No. 11). Plaintiffs did not timely serve Defendants but instead moved for an extension of the service deadline and a second adjournment of the initial pre-trial conference to January 7, 2021, at 10:50 a.m., which the Court granted (Dkt. No. 14).
WHEREAS, pursuant to the Individual Rules and the December 2, 2020, scheduling order (Dkt. No. 14), the parties were required to file a joint letter and proposed case management plan on December 31, 2020, seven days prior to the January 7, 2021, initial pre-trial conference.
WHEREAS, the parties failed to file the joint letter or proposed case management plan. It is hereby
ORDERED that, if Plaintiffs are in communication with Defendants, the parties shall file the joint letter and proposed case management plan as soon as possible and no later than January 5, 2021. If Defendants refuse to cooperate in the preparation of these documents, Plaintiffs shall prepare and file them. If Plaintiffs are not in communication with Defendants, as soon as possible and no later than January 5, 2021, Plaintiffs shall file a letter (i) summarizing their efforts to contact Defendants and (ii) requesting adjournment of the initial pretrial conference.
Plaintiffs are reminded that failure to comply with court-ordered deadlines may result in sanctions or dismissal for failure to prosecute.
