Plaintiffs,

UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF 

TRANSPORTATION, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 02-cv-04621-KAW 

ORDER TO SHOW TO CAUSE

Re: Dkt. No. 75

On September 18, 2015, Defendants filed a motion to dissolve the injunction issued on 

April 28, 2003, which enjoined Defendants, along with Intervenor-Defendant the Town of 

Mammoth Lakes, “from commencing any construction or other work on the [Mammoth Yosemite] 

airport expansion project pending conformance with all NEPA requirements, including completion 

and adoption of an Environmental Impact Statement.” (Defs.’ Mot., Dkt. No. 75 at 1.)

Defendants contend that they conferred with Plaintiffs’ counsel, and were advised that 

Plaintiffs would likely not take a position on this motion. Id. Notwithstanding, pursuant to Civil 

Local Rule 7-3, Plaintiffs’ opposition was due on October 2, 2015. Plaintiff did not file an 

opposition or a statement of non-opposition as required by the Civil Local Rules. See Civil L.R. 7-

3(b).

Accordingly, by no later than January 4, 2016, the Court orders Plaintiffs to file either (1) 

a statement of non-opposition to the motion to dissolve the injunction, or (2) show cause why the 

motion should not be granted as unopposed and file an opposition to the motion to dissolve the 

injunction. Failure to timely file may result in the dissolution of the injunction. See Judge 

Westmore’s General Standing Order ¶ 22 (“The failure of the opposing party to file a
