WO

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE DISTRICT OF ARIZONA

Reliance Hospitality LLC,

Plaintiff,

v. 

ASNL Incorporated,

Defendant.

No. CV-21-01970-PHX-DJH

ORDER 

Plaintiff/Counter Defendant Reliance Hospitality LLC (“Reliance”) filed a 

Complaint (Doc. 1) for breach of contract against Defendant/Counterclaimant ASNL, Inc. 

(“ASNL”). In turn, ASNL filed a breach of contract counterclaim against Reliance. (Doc. 

8). On November 16, 2023, the Court intended to hold a Final Pretrial Conference with 

respect to the parties claims. Counsel for Reliance was in attendance, but Counsel for 

ASNL did not appear. Upon review of the record, the last affirmative filing by ANSL’s

Counsel was on November 21, 2022. (Doc. 23 Response to Reliance’s Motion for 

Summary Judgment). ASNL’s Counsel did not participate in drafting the Proposed Final 

Pretrial Order (Doc. 31) or respond to Reliance’s pending Motion for Limine (Doc. 33). 

Reliance’s Counsel represented he has made continuous efforts throughout this matter to 

contact ASNL’s Counsel and law firm via email, text message, and telephone, to no avail. 

Thus, the Court notes there has been a pattern of non-responsiveness regarding ASNL’s 

Counsel.

Accordingly, 

IT IS ORDERED that ASNL shall show cause in writing on or before 

December 7, 2023, explaining why the Court should not entertain a motion for default 

judgment or motion to dismiss ASNL’s counterclaim for ASNL’s failure to prosecute.

copy of (1) this Order and (2) the Proposed Final Pretrial Order (Doc. 31) to the managing
