Dana and Janet McLorn, Plaintiffs, v. Fleetwood Motor Homes of Indiana, Inc., d/b/a/American Coach and Beaudry RV Company, Defendants.

ORDER

LAWRENCE ANDERSON, Magistrate Judge

This case arises upon Plaintiffs' Motion to Continue on Inactive Calendar. (docket # 33) Plaintiffs request that the Court continue the case on the inactive calendar for six (6) more months and allow time to determine if either Defendant will come out of bankruptcy as a viable capitalized entity. In the alternative, Plaintiffs request that if the case is dismissed by the Court, that such dismissal is without prejudice so the cause may be re-filed if either or both Defendants emerge from bankruptcy. ( Id. at 2)

The Court's file reflects that the Complaint was filed on August 28, 2008. (docket # 1) The case against Defendant Beaudry RV Company was stayed due to its voluntary bankruptcy petition in the United States Bankruptcy Court, No. BK-08-16533-EWH, filed on November 18, 2008. The Rule 16 scheduling conference was held for all other parties on December 4, 2008 and deadlines set pursuant to the Joint Case Management Report. (docket # 26) On March 10, 2009, Defendant Fleetwood filed a voluntary Chapter 11 bankruptcy petition in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Central District of California, Riverside Division, Case No. 09-14254-MJ. (docket # 31)

It is clear now that the Bankruptcy Courts' separate automatic stays will prevent the parties herein from resolving Plaintiffs' claims within the time frame of the Court's Rule 16 scheduling order. Good cause does not exist, however, to keep this District Court case open but inactive. Plaintiffs may seek to reduce their claims against the subject debtors Beaudry and Fleetwood to judgment in the bankruptcy court in separate adversary proceedings.

On the Court's own motion,

IT IS ORDERED that Plaintiffs' Motion to Continue on Inactive Calendar, docket # 33, is GRANTED. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that this case is DISMISSED without prejudice due to the foreseeable lack of prosecution related to Defendants' bankruptcy filings. The Clerk is kindly directed to terminate this case.
