Proceedings: (IN CHAMBERS) ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE RE: DISMISSAL FOR LACK OF PROSECUTION Plaintiffs are ORDERED to show cause why this case should not be dismissed for lack of prosecution. Link v. Wabash R. Co., 370 U.S. 626 (1962) (Court has inherent power to dismiss for lack of prosecution on its own motion).

In the present case, it appears that the below time period has not been met.

Accordingly, the Court, on its own motion, orders Plaintiffs to show cause, in writing, on or before August 25, 2023, why this action should not be dismissed for lack of prosecution. Pursuant to Rule 78 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the Court finds that this matter is appropriate for submission without oral argument. The Order to Show Cause will stand submitted upon the filing of Plaintiffs response. Failure to respond to this Order to Show Cause will be deemed consent to the dismissal of the action. □ Defendants did not answer the complaint, yet Plaintiffs have failed to request entry of default, pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 55(a). Plaintiffs can satisfy this order by seeking entry of default or by dismissing the complaint.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
