ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE
On December 13, 2022, Plaintiffs filed a Motion for Clerk's Entry of Default against Defendant Landry Masonry Company, Inc. ("Landry") and on January 3, 2023, the Clerk entered default against Landry. [Filing No. 9; Filing No. 10.] Since the January 3, 2023 entry of default, no activity has taken place in this case. Specifically, Plaintiffs have not filed a Motion for Default Judgment. Plaintiffs must SHOW CAUSE no later than June 21, 2023 why the Court should not dismiss this action without prejudice for failure to prosecute. See Link v. Wabash R. Co., 370 U.S. 626, 630-631 (1962) ("The authority of a court to dismiss sua sponte for lack of prosecution has generally been considered an 'inherent power,' governed not by rule or statute but by the control necessarily vested in courts to manage their own affairs so as to achieve the orderly and expeditious disposition of cases"); see also GCIU Employer Retirement Fund v. Chicago Tribune Co., 8 F.3d 1195, 1198-1199 (7th Cir. 1993) ("[A] party cannot decide for itself when it feels like pressing its action and when it feels like taking a break because trial judges have a responsibility to litigants to keep their court calendars as current as humanly possible") (quotation omitted). Any response to this Order must include a proposed schedule to promptly resolve this action. A failure to respond will be deemed consent to a dismissal without prejudice.
