on its own motion).
The Court, on its own motion, orders Plaintiff(s) to show cause, in writing, on or before December 13,

Rules of Civil Procedure, the Court finds that this matter is appropriate for submission without oral
argument. The Order to Show Cause will stand submitted upon the filing of Plaintiff(s) response.
Failure to respond to this Order to Show Cause will be deemed consent to the dismissal of the action.
