Notably, in his statement of non-opposition, Plaintiffs' counsel references "another matter" before this Court involving counsel for Defendant in the instant action and the Tulare County Office of Education, defendant in the other matter. This Court's docket in case number 1:08-cv-01215-LJO-GSA appears to involve the same Plaintiffs, to wit: S.A., L.A. and M.A. Plaintiffs' counsel is reminded of his obligation to notify the Court of related cases pursuant to Local Rule 83-123. Thus, in light of the foregoing, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that: 1. The hearings set for August 28, 2009, on Plaintiffs' Motion for Entry of Default Judgment and Defendant's Motion to Set Aside Default are VACATED; 2. Defendant shall file its answer to the complaint within twenty (20) days of the date of service of this order; 3. Plaintiffs' counsel shall review his obligation pursuant to Local Rule 83-123, and shall take all appropriate action within ten (10) days of the date of service of this order.

IT IS SO ORDERED. Dated:
