Proceeding: (INCHAMBERS) ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE On July 1, 2025, the Court denied Plaintiff Michael Mente’s (“Plaintiff”) Motion for Default Judgment under Rule 55(b)(1). (ECF No. 41 (“Order”)). The denial informed Plaintiff that it was without prejudice to Plaintiff refiling a Motion for Default Judgment pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 55(b)(2), that: (1) complied with all requirements of the Rule and related Local Rules; (2) addressed the factors set forth in Eite/ v. McCool, 782 F.2d 1470, 1471-72 (9th Cir. 1986); and (3) addressed whether the Court may exercise personal jurisdiction over Defendant Traveon Rogers, as described in /n re Tuli, 172 F.3d 707, 712 (9th Cir. 1999). (/d.). To date, the docket reflects that Plaintiff has not refiled the motion, and Plaintiff has failed to otherwise prosecute the action. Under the circumstances, the Court enjoys the inherent power to dismiss for lack of prosecution on its own motion. See, e.g., Link v. Wabash R. Co., 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.”). Consistent with that authority, the Court ORDERS Plaintiff to show cause, in writing, on or before December 10, 2025, why this case should not be dismissed for lack of prosecution. Plaintiff should also set forth in Plaintiffs response the current status of the litigation. This matter will stand submitted upon the filing of Plaintiff's response. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 78. Failure of Plaintiff to respond will be deemed as consent to the dismissal of the action.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
