RPM MORTGAGE, INC.,

Plaintiff,

v.

SUNTRUST MORTGAGE, INC., et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 15-cv-03380-MEJ 

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

Plaintiff RPM Mortgage, Inc. (“RPM”) brings a Complaint for Declaratory Relief against 

Defendant SunTrust Mortgage, Inc. (“SunTrust”), seeking a judicial determination that it has no 

obligation to indemnify SunTrust for its losses relating to loans underwritten by NL, Inc. After 

SunTrust moved to dismiss for forum non conveniens or transfer venue, the Court denied 

SunTrust’s Motion without prejudice, finding a more developed record regarding the nature of NL 

and RPM’s relationship would help reveal whether transfer is appropriate. Dkt. No. 18. The 

Court directed the parties to engage in limited discovery regarding NL and RPM’s relationship, to 

be completed by October 15, 2015, and provide a discovery status report as part of their joint case 

management statement. Id. 

As the parties did not file a joint statement by October 15, the Court vacated the October 

22, 2015 Case Management Conference and ordered the parties to file a joint status report by 

October 27, 2015. Dkt. No. 19. No response has been received. Accordingly, the Court hereby 

ORDERS Plaintiff RPM Mortgage, Inc. to show cause why this case should not be dismissed for 

failure to prosecute and failure to comply with court deadlines. RPM shall e-file a declaration by

November 4, 2015 (no chambers copy is required). If a responsive declaration is filed, the Court 

shall either issue an order based on the declaration or conduct a hearing on November 12, 2015 at
