ORDER SETTING SHOW CAUSE DEADLINE RE DISMISSAL 

On October 20, 2015, an Order Setting Deadlines for Parties' Informal Case Discussion 

and Report, and Setting a Pre-Hearing Status Conference was filed. ("Order"). 1 Among other 

things, this Order directed the FAA and the Respondent, World Logistics, LLC, to informally 

confer about the case status by December 18, 2015, and file a written case status report with the 

Court by January 8, 2015. (Order, 2 ~~ 1-3.) The Order also directed the parties to appear before 

the Court for a Pre-Hearing Status Conference on January 20, 2016, at 1:30 p.m. Eastern time. 

(Order, 2 ~ 4.) The parties were provided with the Court's conference call number, information 

on how to request a change in the date of the Conference if they had a calendar conflict, and a 

contact person at the Office of Hearings if they had any procedural questions. (Order, 2 ~~ 4-6.) 

On January 8, 2016, neither the FAA nor the Respondent, World Logistics, LLC, filed a 

written Case Status Report. No explanation was proffered by either party for their noncompliance with the Court's Order. 

On January 20,2016, the Court convened the Pre-Hearing Status Conference. Neither the 

FAA nor the Respondent, World Logistics, LLC, appeared for the Conference. There was no 

explanation for either parties' failure to appear, or for their noncompliance with the Court's 

Order. Both parties' abandonment of the case. was noted. This Order codifies the oral rulings 

·issued during the Pre-Hearing Status Conference. 

1 The October 20, 2015 Order contained a clerical error, identifying the Respondent as "Worldwide Logistics 

Solutions, LLC" instead of World Logistics, LLC. Nevertheless, all other references to the case, such as the Docket 

Number, the Case Number, the summarized history of the case, and the party representative name, address, and 

contact information was properly identified in the Order. 
Pursuant to 14 C.F.R. § 13.205(a)(6), and having reviewed the case file, all pleadings and 

motions, all relevant caselaw, statutes, regulations, rules, and authority, and being fully advised;

prosecuting party in this action, should outline any good cause explanations why its 

Complaint, dated February 24,2015, should not be dismissed with prejudice. This would 

include explanation for the FAA's failure to comply with the directives contained in the 

October 20, 2015 Order, and its failure to appear for the January 20, 2016 Pre-Hearing 

Status Conference and prosecute the action. 

2. The filing deadline date for the FAA's Show Cause Deadline is the date the document is 

date-stamped received by the Court, as described in the October 20, 2015 Order. (Order, 

2 ~ 3.)

Respondent's failures to comply with Court Orders in this case will then be addressed.
