Case No. 2:13-cv-00130-APG-NJK
ORDER

16

Pending before the Court is the order for Plaintiffs to show cause in writing, no later than

17

November 3, 2014, why this case should not be dismissed for their failure to update their address and

18

comply with Court orders. Docket No. 56. The Court specifically warned Plaintiffs that “[t]he failure to

19

respond to this order to show cause will result in a recommendation that Plaintiffs’ claims be dismissed

20

with prejudice.” Id. Notwithstanding that warning, Plaintiffs failed to comply with the Court’s order to

21

show cause. The Court has now warned Plaintiffs on several occasions that case-dispositive sanctions can

22

be imposed for their failure to file a notice of updated address and comply with Court orders. Nonetheless,

23

Plaintiffs continue to fail to do so. Accordingly, it appears that Plaintiffs have chosen not to continue to

24

pursue this case.1

Plaintiffs have also failed to respond to important motions. See Docket No. 35 (order granting
motion to quash service as unopposed); Docket No. 57 (order granting motion to quash service as
unopposed); see also Docket Nos. 42, 44 (motions to dismiss for which no response has been filed).

The Court hereby SETS a hearing on its order to show cause for 4:00 p.m. on November 13, 2014,

2

in Courtroom 3D. Plaintiffs are ORDERED to attend that hearing in person. The failure to do so will

3

result in a recommendation that this case be dismissed with prejudice.
