Defendants.

This Court previously scheduled a telephonic Case Management Conference for March 21,

12

2013, and ordered Plaintiffs’ counsel to set up the call. Dkt. 122. Plaintiffs failed to call in, as

13

ordered, and the Case Management Conference did not proceed. The failure to comply with the

14

Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the Local Rules of the Court or any Court Order is grounds for

15

dismissal of this action under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b). See Ferdik v. Bonzelet, 963

16

F.2d 1258, 1260 (9th Cir. 1992). Accordingly,

17

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT the parties shall show cause why the instant action

18

should not be dismissed under Rule 41(b) for failure to comply with a Court order. By no later

19

than March 28, 2013, the parties shall file a Certificate of Counsel to explain why the case should

20

or should not be dismissed. The Certificate shall set forth the nature of the cause, its present status,

21

the reason it has not been brought to trial or otherwise terminated, any basis for opposing dismissal

22

and its expected course if not dismissed. FAILURE TO FULLY COMPLY WITH THIS ORDER

23

WILL BE DEEMED SUFFICIENT GROUNDS TO DISMISS THE ACTION, WITHOUT

24

FURTHER NOTICE.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
