56 2024-07-17 MINUTE entry before the Honorable John Robert Blakey: Based upon the notice of voluntary dismissal 50, this case is dismissed without prejudice as to Defendant Wenzhou Zhongmao Metal Products Co., Ltd. (No. 5). Absent reinstatement by 4/15/25, this dismissal shall automatically convert to a dismissal with prejudice. Given the slew of very recent voluntary dismissals (most recently filed the same day as the motion for default judgment), it seems unlikely that Plaintiff can represent definitively that all settlement negotiations have reached an impasse and that default judgment is appropriate at this time, in light of the Court's disinclination to consider piecemeal default judgments. As a result, the Court denies without prejudice Plaintiff's motion for default judgment 51 and strikes the 7/17/24 Notice of Motion date. Mailed notice
