Order. On November 16, 2006, this Court denied plaintiff's "Motion for Vacating or Modification of the Order Granting DIRECTV's Motion to Compel" this dispute to arbitration pursuant to the parties' arbitration agreement. Pursuant to that Order, plaintiff was ordered for the second time to proceed to arbitration under the terms of the agreement between plaintiff and DIRECTV. Nearly eight months have passed since this Court's Order and plaintiff has not complied by proceeding to arbitration. Plaintiff has not even attempted to re-institute the arbitration proceeding to DIRECTV's knowledge. In light of plaintiff's failure to re-institute the arbitration proceedings in accordance with this Court's Order, it is evident that plaintiff does not intend to pursue his claims in the manner required. Accordingly, DIRECTV requests that this Court dismiss plaintiff's action sua sponte for failure to prosecute or that it temporarily lift the pending stay so that DIRECTV can seek dismissal of this action for failure to prosecute.
