In Jaquez v. Awesome Office, Judge Cronan ordered a joint status update and warned that the case could be dismissed if Plaintiff did not provide one.
Ramon Jaquez and Awesome Office, Inc. were required to provide a joint status update; the court also warned that the action could be dismissed if the litigation was not prosecuted.
What happened
Ramon Jaquez sued Awesome Office, Inc. on behalf of himself and others in March 2021. The court had extended the deadline for Awesome Office to respond so the parties could discuss settlement.
Awesome Office had not responded to the complaint, and Jaquez had not asked the court to enter a judgment because of that failure. The court therefore ordered the parties to submit a joint letter by July 11, 2021, describing the case’s status.
Judge John P. Cronan warned that the court could dismiss the action on its own for failure to prosecute if Jaquez did not update the court. The order did not dismiss the case or decide the claims.
