MINUTE ORDER IN CHAMBERS Re: December 21, 2016 Status Report by Judge George H. King: On December 15, 2016, we issued an Order Re: Service on Defendants, Etc., directing Plaintiffs to take various actions in relation to proof of service and entry of default. On December 21, 2016, Plaintiffs filed a status report in response to our order. In the report, Plaintiffs request an extension of time to effect service on Defendant Andre Young D/B/A "Dr. Dre" to January 17, 2017. The request is granted. Plaintiffs shall file proof of service as to Young by January 17, 2017, failing which Plaintiffs shall show cause in writing by January 17, 2017 why such proof of service was not filed. We are not inclined to grant further extensions of time to serve this defendant unless Plaintiffs provide a clear and specific showing of diligent actions taken during this period to effect proper service. Plaintiffs also represent that Defendant Calvin Broadus D/B/A "Snoop Dog" has retained counsel and waived service of summons. They claim that Broadus has until February 17, 2017 to respond to the FAC. We accept such representations as true. If Broadus fails to timely respond to the FAC, Plaintiffs shall, within 10 days thereafter, seek entry of his default from the clerk, failing which Plaintiffs shall show cause, in writing, within the same 10 days why default was not sought as ordered herein. In all other respects, our December 15, 2016 order stands. Failure to comply with the directives in this and the December 15, 2016 orders, or timely show cause as ordered, shall be deemed Plaintiffs' abandonment of this action as to that/those defendant(s) for whom cause was not adequately and timely shown. In that event, any such defendant shall be dismissed, without prejudice, for Plaintiffs' failure to diligently prosecute, and for failure to comply with our orders. (bm)
