annuity, they are to explain why they did not provide the ordered notice and why this case should

not be closed. If they have not received the annuity, Plaintiffs are to explain why and discuss the 1

status of this case. 

The Court has too crowded a docket and cannot leave cases open that have in fact ended. 

The parties are hereby forewarned that the continued failure to obey Court orders will result in

the imposition of sanctions. 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Plaintiffs are to file a notice with the Court as soon as possible, but no later than 1:00

p.m. on March 3, 2010, regarding whether they have received the annuities provided by

the settlements and Court orders;

2. If Plaintiffs have not received their annuities, they are to explain the status of this case

and their suggestions with how to proceed;

3. If Plaintiffs have received their annuities, they are to explain whether this case should

remain open and why the Court’s orders have been disregarded. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: February 24, 2010 /s/ Anthony W. Ishii 

0m8i78 CHIEF UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE

Additionally, Plaintiffs were directed to deliver an executed release to Defendants upon receipt of
