Plaintiffs Request for Entry of Default as to the Defendant or Defendant’s Answer, 2. Astipulation extending Defendant's time to respond to the Complaint that complies with Local Rule 8.3, or 3. notice of Voluntary Dismissal (Fed. R. Civ. P. 41) as to the Defendant. No oral argument of this matter will be heard unless ordered by the Court. The Order will submitted upon the filing of a timely and appropriate response. Failure to file a timely and appropriate response to this Order may result in dismissal without further notice or order from the court. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b); L. R. 41-6; Link v. Wabash R.R., 370 U.S. 626, 629 (1962) (“The authority of a federal trial court to dismiss a plaintiff's action with prejudice because of his failure to prosecute cannot seriously be doubted.”); Hells Canyon Pres. Council v. U.S. Forest Serv., 403 F.3d
