On September 18, 2015, the Court issued an Order to Show Cause in each of the abovecaptioned actions directing the parties to show cause, in writing and on or before October 16, 

2015, why the actions should not be closed. See Order to Show Cause, ECF 3 in Case No. 14-cv02354-BLF; Order to Show Cause, ECF 4 in Case No. 14-cv-02380-BLF. In the Order to Show 

Cause, the Court noted that both of the above-captioned actions were opened when defendants 

(“Moving Parties”) in an adversary proceeding then-pending in the Bankruptcy Court moved to 

withdraw the reference of the adversary proceeding. See id. While Moving Parties’ motions to 

withdraw the reference were pending before this Court, the Bankruptcy Court dismissed the 

adversary complaint for failure to state a claim upon which relief could be granted and dismissed 

the adversary proceeding in its entirety. See id. In light of the Bankruptcy Court’s dismissal of

the underlying adversary proceeding and Moving Parties’ failure to prosecute their motions to 

withdraw the reference, the Court terminated the motions to withdraw the reference and issued the 

Order to Show Cause referenced above. No party has responded to the Order to Show Cause and
