On October 19, 2016, Defendant Van Dyk Mortgage Corporation filed Motions for

23

Summary Judgment in each of these three related cases, with a noticed hearing date of December

24

22, 2016. See Thieme, Dkt. No. 167; Chenault, Dkt. No. 137; Haynes, Dkt. No. 73. Plaintiffs

25

failed to file oppositions to these Motions pursuant to Civil Local Rule 7. Accordingly, the Court

26

hereby VACATES the motion hearing and ORDERS Plaintiffs Steve Thieme, Cynthia Chenault,

27

and Lewis Haynes to show cause why (1) these cases should not be dismissed for failure to

28

prosecute and failure to comply with court deadlines; (2) why Plaintiffs should not be sanctioned

1

for their conduct; and (3) why pretrial and trial deadlines should not be continued. Plaintiffs shall

2

file declarations by November 15, 2016. If responsive declarations are filed, the Court shall

3

either issue an order based on the declarations or schedule a hearing on the matter. Notice is

4

hereby provided that failure to file written responses will be deemed an admission that Plaintiffs

5

do not intend to prosecute, and their cases against Van Dyk will be dismissed without prejudice.

6

Thus, it is imperative that the Court receive written responses by the deadline above.

7

IT IS SO ORDERED.
