Coughenour, United States District Judge: This matter comes before the Court sua sponte. On April 24, 2017, the Court ordered 18 Plaintiffs to show cause why their claims against Defendants R.

More than two months later, no further action has been taken to prosecute the claims. 24 Plaintiffs’ counsel is unavailable through Tuesday, July 11, 2017. (Dkt. No. 71 at 1.) 25 Accordingly, the Court gives Plaintiffs until Friday, July 14, 2017 to sufficiently address the 26 show cause order (Dkt. No. 69). If Plaintiffs fail to do so, the claims against the MINUTE ORDER C16-0620-JCC PAGE - 1 1 aforementioned Defendants will be dismissed for failure to prosecute.
