On February 14, 2017, the Court granted summary judgment to Defendant VanDyk

23

Mortgage Corp. in all three actions and entered judgment for that Defendant and against Plaintiffs

24

Steve Thieme, Cynthia Chenault, and Lewis Haynes. See Haynes Dkt. Nos. 90, 91; Chenault Dkt.

25

Nos. 200, 201; Thieme Dkt. Nos. 155, 156. The Court also ordered Plaintiffs, no later than March

26

16, 2017, either to move for default judgment as to remaining defendants Diane Cobb and Paul

27

Sloane Davis or to inform the Court how they intend to proceed to bring these actions to

28

resolution. See Order re Remaining Defs., Haynes Dkt. No. 92; Chenault Dkt. No. 202; Thieme

1

Dkt. No. 157. Plaintiffs neither moved for default judgment nor informed the Court how they

2

intend to proceed to bring these actions to resolution. See Dkts.

3

Accordingly, the Court hereby ORDERS Plaintiffs Haynes, Cobb and Thieme to show

4

cause why their cases should not be dismissed for failure to prosecute and failure to comply with

5

court deadlines. Plaintiffs shall file a declaration by November 2, 2017. If a responsive

6

declaration is filed, the Court shall issue an order based on the declaration. Notice is hereby

7

provided that failure to file a written response will be deemed an admission that Plaintiffs do not

8

intend to prosecute and do not have good cause for failing to abide by the Court’s prior orders, and

9

the cases will be dismissed with prejudice. Thus, it is imperative that the Court receive a written

11

response by the deadline above.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
