The following Minute Order is made by direction of the Court, the Honorable John C.
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. Chavez, Doe #1, and Chris

19

Bippley should not be dismissed for failure to prosecute. (Dkt. No. 69 at 1.) Plaintiffs were

20

directed to respond to the show cause order prior to the status conference set for May 2, 2017, or

21

to come to the status conference prepared to address this issue. (Id. at 1-2.) Plaintiffs submitted

22

no response and it does not appear Plaintiffs raised the issue at the status conference. (See Dkt.

23

No. 70.) 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

aforementioned Defendants will be dismissed for failure to prosecute. No extension of this

2

deadline shall be permitted.

DATED this 5th day of July 2017.
