v.
ROY BLACKWELL ENTERPRISES, INC.,
Defendant.
ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE
On October 19, 2023, Plaintiffs notified the Court that Defendant filed for Chapter 11
bankruptcy. (ECF No. 25.) As a result, this matter was stayed as required by 11 U.S.C. § 362(a)
and Plaintiffs were ordered to file a notice when the bankruptcy action concluded. (ECF No.
26.) In December 2024, the Court directed the Parties to provide a status update on the
bankruptcy action, and counsel for Plaintiffs advised, via email dated December 20, 2024, that
the bankruptcy action was still pending. (See ECF No. 27.) Counsel also stated that a pre-trial
hearing before the Bankruptcy Court was scheduled for January 16, 2025.
Then, another year passed, so a second Order for Status Update was entered on January
14, 2026. (ECF No. 28.) That Order was clear. It directed the parties to provide a status update
on the bankruptcy matter by January 30, 2026, and stated that if the parties failed to do so, the
action would be dismissed for failure to prosecute. (Id. at PageID 456.) The Parties’ deadline
has come and passed, without any update or explanation filed on the docket.
