Accordingly, the Court HEREBY ORDERS that:

1. Within fifteen (15) days from the date of service of this order, the parties shall file a 

written response to the Court, showing cause why this case should not be dismissed for 

the parties' failure to obey the Court’s order filed January 13, 2014. Submission of the 

required status report shall be deemed compliance with this requirement. (If the parties 

are unable to meet and confer to prepare a joint status report within the time limits of

this order, the Court will accept an individual status report from each party.)

2. The Clerk of Court shall mail a copy of this order to Defendant's address, along with a 

copy of the Court's January 13, 2014 order (Doc. 5).

3. Plaintiff's failure to comply with this order will result in the dismissal of this action 

without further notice.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
