ORDER. On December 30, 2024, the Court entered an Order directing the plaintiffs identified at Docket Entry 768-1 to show cause within 14 days of the entry of the Order why their cases should not be dismissed with prejudice for failure to comply with the Case Management Orders regarding Plaintiff Fact Sheets. In the majority of the cases, the deficiencies have been cured, Defendants had agreed to an extension of time, or the cases have been dismissed. The Order to Show Cause is therefore MOOT as to those cases (See table). A number of other plaintiffs did not respond to the Order to Show Cause. Those cases are hereby DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE for failure to comply with lawful Orders of the Court (See table). In two cases, the plaintiff's attorney filed a response to the Order to Show Cause, but the Plaintiff Fact Sheet remains incomplete. Those cases are DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE: 1:21-cv-2423, 1:21-cv-4199. Finally, in six cases, Plaintiffs have filed out-of-time notices that they are now in compliance with the Case Management Orders regarding the Plaintiff Fact Sheets. Defendants are GRANTED leave to file a response within SEVEN DAYS of the entry of this Order regarding the lateness and whether they agree that the Plaintiff Fact Sheets are now in compliance. The Court DEFERS ruling on those cases until that time: 1:24-cv-00339, 1:22-cv-00432, 1:21-cv-00199, 1:21-cv-01793, 1:21-cv-00111, 1:21-cv-02035. Signed by Judge Leigh Martin May on 1/24/2025.
