In Young v. Snowview Management Corporation, Judge Nathan ordered Lawrence Young to respond by April 30 or risk dismissal for failure to prosecute.
Lawrence Young must meet the court’s response and service deadlines. Snowview Management Corporation is to be served with the order and earlier orders.
What happened
In Young v. Snowview Management Corporation, the court said Lawrence Young had not responded to its February 28, 2020 order. That earlier order required Young either to seek a certificate of default and request a default judgment against Snowview Management Corporation or explain why he should not do so yet.
The court ordered Young to respond to the February 28 order by April 30, 2020. It also required him to serve this order and the earlier orders on Snowview Management Corporation and file proof of service by April 23, 2020.
Judge Nathan warned that failing to meet the April 30 deadline could result in dismissal of Young’s claims with prejudice for failure to prosecute. The order did not dismiss the claims.
