which was granted on October 4, 2004. On November 22, 2004,

proof of publication service was filed as to those defendants. 

On February 3, 2005, plaintiff requested that default be

entered against all defendants except Liberty Mutual and on

February 9, 2005 defaults were entered against those defendants

in accordance with F.R.C.P 55(a). 

As of September 14, 2005, no further action has been taken

by plaintiff on final resolution as to the defendants in which

default was entered and no action has been taken by plaintiff and

defendant Liberty Mutual as to the scheduling of this action. 

Accordingly, the court makes the following orders:

1. Plaintiffs’ counsel and defendant’s counsel, Jessica L.

 Meeks, are ordered to show cause why they should not be

sanctioned in the amount of $150.00 each for failure to 

file a joint status report in compliance with the 

court’s order of June 7, 2004; 

2. Plaintiffs’ counsel is also ordered to show cause why

the case should not be dismissed against those

defendants in which default was entered for failure to

prosecute; 

3. Counsel shall file a response to the order to show

cause on or before September 30, 2005;
