ROSLYNN R. MAUSKOPF, United States District Judge.
Pro se plaintiffs Anton P. Jepson, Zaquan Holman, and Francis Gomez filed this civil
rights action on October 27, 2016. Since July 2017, the plaintiffs have failed to communicate
with the Court in any way. On October 23, 2017, the Court ordered the plaintiffs to show cause
in writing by November 20, 2017, why this case should not be dismissed for failure to prosecute.
That deadline has passed, and Jepson, Holman, and Gomez have failed to respond. Accordingly,
the action is hereby dismissed.
The Court certifies pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3) that any appeal would not be taken
in good faith, and therefore in forma pauperis status is denied for purpose of an appeal. See
Coppedge v. United States, 369 U.S. 438, 444–45 (1962). The Clerk of Court is directed to enter
judgment, mail a copy of this Order and the accompanying judgment to Anton P. Jepson,

Zaquan Holman, and Francis Gomez, and close this case.
SO ORDERED.
