(Dkt. #12.) Although the Court set a response deadline of March 26, 2009, Plaintiffs have failed to comply with the Court's order. The Court notes that this is a pattern on the part of Plaintiffs of failing to comply with court deadlines and prosecute their case in general. (See Dkt. ## 4, 24.) Given that there are now three pending motions to dismiss in this case, the Court finds Plaintiffs' inactivity in this case troubling. Accordingly, the Court hereby ORDERS Plaintiffs LaDonna Williams and Paris Williams to show cause why this case should not be dismissed for failure to prosecute and comply with court orders. Plaintiffs shall file a declaration by April 9, 2009, and the Court shall conduct a hearing on April 16, 2009 at 10:00 a.m. in Courtroom B, 15th Floor, 450 Golden Gate Avenue, San Francisco, California. Plaintiffs are also reminded of the March 24, 2009 Order to Show Cause previously issued, (Dkt. #24), and may file one declaration in response to the two orders.
