In Mandamus. This cause originated in this court on the filing of a complaint for a writ of mandamus involving an expedited election matter. It appears from the records of this court that relators have not filed a merit brief, due August 27, 2006, in compliance with the Rules of Practice of the Supreme Court and therefore have failed to prosecute this cause with the requisite diligence. Upon consideration thereof,

It is ordered by the court that this cause is dismissed sua sponte.
