submitted a status report. (See Docket No. 15, Status Report 1:21-

23.) GMAC and ETS stated in their status report that they do not

have a valid telephone number for Plaintiff’s counsel and that they

sent Plaintiff’s counsel a copy of the status report by e-mail on

March 9, 2010, and requested input by March 12, 2010, but received

no response. (Id. 1:23-28.)

Plaintiff is Ordered to Show Cause (“OSC”) in a writing

to be filed no later than 4:00 p.m. on April 2, 2010, why sanctions

should not be imposed against her and/or her counsel under Rule

16(f) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure for failure to file a

timely status report. The written response shall also state

whether Plaintiff or her counsel is at fault, and whether a hearing

is requested on the OSC. If a hearing is requested, it will be

held on April 26, 2010, at 9:00 a.m., just prior to the status

conference, which is rescheduled to that date and time. Further,

Plaintiff shall explain in the response to the OSC why this action

should not be dismissed for failure of prosecution since it appears

that Plaintiff is no longer interested in prosecuting this action.

Lastly, a joint status report shall be filed no later than fourteen

(14) days prior to the status conference. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: March 25, 2010
