On August 3, 2009, this Court issued an Order granting Plaintiffs' counsel's motion to withdraw, filed on July 30, 2009, Docket No. 3096. On August 19, 2009, this Court issued a Supplemental Order explaining Plaintiffs' and counsel's continued obligations as to Pretrial Order No. 31. In order to further clarify Plaintiffs' status in light of the Court's having granted counsel's motion to withdraw, the Court further ORDERS PLAINTIFFS TO SHOW CAUSE as to why Plaintiffs' lawsuits should not be dismissed for a lack of prosecution. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 41. If Plaintiffs wish to contest the dismissal of Plaintiffs' lawsuits for failure to prosecute, Plaintiffs shall notify the Court in writing on or before September 25, 2009 of the reasons the cases should not be dismissed. If Plaintiffs will be proceeding without a lawyer, Plaintiffs must advise the Court of how the Court should contact Plaintiffs. Plaintiffs are warned that Plaintiffs' failure to communicate with the Court in writing as set forth above may result in dismissal of Plaintiffs' claims with prejudice. Plaintiffs' counsel shall ensure that Plaintiffs receive a copy of this Order, the original Order granting withdrawal on August 3, 2009, and the Supplemental Order of August 19, 2009. IT IS SO ORDERED. Dated: August 28, 2009 HONORABLE CHARLES R. BREYER United States District Judge
