Plaintiff is ORDERED to show cause why this case should not be dismissed
for lack of prosecution. Link v. Wabash R. Co., 370 U.S. 626 (1962) (Court has
inherent power to dismiss for lack of prosecution on its own motion).

The below time period has not been met. Accordingly, the Court, on its own
motion, orders Plaintiff to show cause, in writing, on or before April 24, 2026, why
this action should not be dismissed for lack of prosecution. This matter will stand
submitted upon the filing of Plaintiff’s response. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 78. Failure
to respond will be deemed consent to the dismissal of the action.

☒ Defendants Attorney General of the United States, Director, executive
Office for Immigration Review, and Chair, Board of Immigration Appeals
were served with the Complaint on January 26, 2026 and responses to
Complaint were due March 30, 2026 (Dkt. Nos. 8-11). Defendants did not
answer the complaint, yet Plaintiff has failed to request entry of default,
pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 55(a). Plaintiff can satisfy this order by seeking
entry of default or by dismissing the complaint.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
