ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE WHY CASE SHOULD NOT BE DISMISSED FOR FAILURE TO PROSECUTE
Re: Dkt. No. 16
RITA F. LIN, UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
On January 30, 2024, Plaintiffs filed a complaint against Defendants (Dkt. No. 1), as well as a motion for a temporary restraining order (Dkt. No. 2). On February 6, 2024, the Court denied Plaintiffs' motion for a temporary restraining order. (Dkt. No. 15.) On February 29, 2024, Defendants filed a motion to dismiss Plaintiffs' complaint. (Dkt. No. 16.) Plaintiffs' opposition to Defendants' motion to dismiss was due on March 14, 2024. To date, Plaintiffs have failed to file any opposition to the pending motion to dismiss.
Accordingly, Plaintiffs are ORDERED to show cause, in writing, by April 11, 2024, as to why their complaint should not be dismissed for failure to prosecute. In addition, if Plaintiffs wish to pursue their claims against Defendants, they are further ORDERED to file a response in opposition to Defendants' motion to dismiss by April 11, 2024. If Plaintiffs file an opposition brief by that date, Defendants' deadline to file any reply brief will be April 25, 2024. Plaintiffs' failure to timely comply with this order will result in the dismissal of this case. See Fed.R.Civ.P. 41(b).
The hearing on Defendants' motion to dismiss, currently set for April 16, 2024, is hereby VACATED. In other words, the hearing is canceled until further notice.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
