If they do not withdraw their voluntary dismissal by this deadline, the court will direct 19 20 1 The Trusts include the National Roofing Industry Pension Fund (Pension Fund), National Roofers Union Health and Welfare Fund (Welfare Fund), Roofers and Waterproofers Research 21 and Education Joint Trust Fund, and Roofers Apprentice and Journeyman Training Trust Fund 22 Local 162 for Clark, Esmeralda, Lincoln & Southern Nye Counties. 2 ECF No. 84. 23 3 Id.
