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.

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.
