To each and every Plaintiff, you are hereby ORDERED to SHOW CAUSE in writing, on
or before October 12, 2016, why this case should not be dismissed for failure to prosecute.
Thirty-four individual plaintiffs brought this action involving allegations of discriminatory

20

practices and favoritism with respect to promotions. First Am. Compl. 3:21-25, ECF 13. On

21

April 15, 2016, the Court granted Defendant American Federation of Government Employees,

22

AFL-CIO, Local 1263’s motion to dismiss without leave to amend and granted Defendant Richard

23

P. Donovan’s motion to dismiss with partial leave to amend. ECF 33. Further, the Court ordered

24

Plaintiffs to file any amended complaint on or before May 16, 2016. Id. Plaintiffs did not amend

25

their complaint within the time provided and still have not amended it. Currently before the Court

26

is a motion for an entry of judgment filed by two of the named plaintiffs, ECF 41, but the other

27

thirty-two plaintiffs have yet to respond to the Court’s order granting the motions to dismiss.

28

Accordingly, the Court ORDERS each and every Plaintiff to SHOW CAUSE why this

1

case should not be dismissed for failure to prosecute. Each Plaintiff shall submit a written

2

response on or before October 12, 2016. The Court advises Plaintiffs that a failure to respond to

3

the Order to Show Cause by October 12, 2016 will result in the dismissal of the case with

4

prejudice pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b).
