16, 2007 and June 26, 2007. There were no appearances in the above

cases. It may be that the court inadvertently excluded these cases

in its March 11, 2005 order, doc #151, or its August 21, 2006

order, doc #469. These orders respectively (1) dismissed all

claims against airline defendants arising from domestic flights

pursuant to federal preemption, and (2) dismissed all claims

arising from international flights wherein plaintiffs alleged

liability based on asserted failure to warn regarding DVT. It may

also be the case that these actions were transferred to this court

subsequent to entry of those dismissals and have since been

overlooked.

In any event, the court now orders the parties, on or

before September 6, 2007, to submit status reports for these cases. 

If no such communication is received for a case, the case will be

dismissed without prejudice. 

SO ORDERED.
