ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE: Plaintiff, Svetlana Lokhova, who is now proceeding prose, has failed to respond to legitimate discovery requests and to comply with orders issued by the magistrate judge assigned to this civil action and orders issued by this Court, including an order that she appear for her deposition, which was arranged to occur in London allowing her to avoid the expense and inconvenience of travelling to the United States. Accordingly, she appears to have abandonedprosecution of this-her second-civil action against the defendant, Stefan A. Halper, and to have abandoned her defense against the counterclaim. For these reasons, it is hereby ORDERED that plaintiff show cause within twenty-one (21) days why her complaint should not be dismissed with prejudice and why a default judgment should not be entered in defendant's favor as to his counterclaims. Any explanation from plaintiff must be supported by credible evidence, such as affidavits made under the penalty of perjury and notarized; and it is furtherORDERED that plaintiff must immediately provide the Court and defense counsel with an address to which communications may be sent. A prose litigant's failure to provide the Court with reliable contact information can be an independent ground for dismissal of that party's complaint or answer. In addition, for the reasons stated above, plaintiffs Motion to Dismiss Defendant's Counterclaims, and/or for Summary Judgment as to the Defamation Counterclaim [Dkt. No. 70]and plaintiffs Motion to Disqualify Terrance G. Reed and Robert D. Luskin as Defendant's Trial Counsel [Dkt. No. 73] are DENIED.(see order for dertails)(c/s).

Legal Document (Payment Possibly Required) 104 Filed: 9/8/2022, Entered: 9/8/2022 OrderCourt Filing
ORDER: At 8: 15 this morning, plaintiff Svetlana Lokhova called chambers and spoke with the undersigned judge who was the only person in chambers. Once she identified herself and started saying something about "medical," she was immediately stopped, told she could not speak about her case to the assigned judge, and advised to communicate with the Court only through her attorney or, if proceeding without counsel, in writing. Given plaintiffs attempt to speak with the Court, it appears she may still be trying to prosecute this litigation; however, it is unclear whether she is proceeding pro se or though counsel because counsel has not yet formally moved to withdraw. To ensure that defense counsel and the Court have a clear understanding of the status of plaintiff, that is whether she is represented or proceeding pro se, it is hereby ORDERED that Ms. Gordon formally advise the Court by close of business today as to whether she still represents the plaintiff. If she does not, she must immediately file a motion for leave to withdraw, and she does not need to appear at the hearing scheduled for September 9, 2022; and it is further ORDERED that if some health emergency explains why plaintiff has not been in contact with her counsel for several weeks, has failed to respond to discovery requests, and did not attend a deposition for which she had over a month's notice and had been arranged to occur in London as a courtesy to plaintiff, credible evidence of that health emergency must be provided forthwith to the Court.
