PRUDENTIAL INSURANCE COMPANY OF AMERICA, Plaintiff, v. YANG TOK WITTIG, et al., Defendants.
MINUTE ORDER
The following minute order is made by the direction of the court, the Honorable James L. Robart:
On December 22, 2022, Defendants Yang Tok Wittig, the Estate of Mark Edwin Wittig (“the Estate”), and I.W., a minor child (collectively, Defendants), filed their final joint status report regarding the status of probate proceedings for the Estate in Pierce County Superior Court. (12/22/22 JSR (Dkt. # 61).) Defendants represented that the proceedings had been closed with the filing of a declaration of completion on December 20, 2022, and that the administration of the Estate and the funding of a trust on behalf of I.W. are now complete. (Id. at 2.)
Based on Defendants' joint status report, the court ordered Defendants to show cause by no later than January 6, 2023, why the court should not now close this case. (12/23/22 OSC (Dkt. # 62).) The court informed Defendants that if they did not respond to the order to show cause, the court would close this case. (Id.) The January 6, 2023 deadline has now passed, and no party has responded to the order to show cause. (See generally Dkt.) Accordingly, the court DIRECTS the Clerk to close this matter.
