2.)

The Court VACATES the hearing scheduled for March 22, 2018 at 1:30 p.m. 

However, the Court RESCHEDULES the hearing for April 26, 2018 at 1:30 p.m. If 

Plaintiffs want to request that their case not be dismissed for lack of prosecution, they are 

to file a notice with the Court.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
