Defendants.

On April 17, 2018, the court denied plaintiffs’ application to proceed in forma pauperis

18
19

(“IFP”) because plaintiffs had failed to file and complete separate IFP applications containing

20

each of their individual financial information. ECF No. 4. The court granted plaintiffs 30 days to

21

renew individual IFP applications. The deadline has now passed, and plaintiffs have not filed

22

their renewed IFP applications.
Good cause appearing, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that plaintiffs shall show cause in

23
24

writing, within 14 days, why their failure to file renewed IFP applications should not result in a

25

recommendation that this case be dismissed for failure to prosecute. The filing of individually

26

renewed IFP applications within this timeframe will serve as cause and will discharge this order.
