On May 16, 2008, this Court issued an Order to Show Cause as to why this case should not

be dismissed for failure to prosecute or defend. (Doc. # 27). On May 29, 2008, Plaintiffs filed a

response to the Order to Show Cause stating that they did not oppose this matter being dismissed.

(Doc. # 28). Defendants have not responded to the Order to Show Cause, though the Court gave them

additional time to do so. (Doc. # 30).

After reviewing the docket and Plaintiffs’ response to the Order to Show Cause, the Court

concludes that this case should be dismissed without prejudice. Plaintiff seeks dismissal, and no

Defendant has shown or indicated that it will suffer any prejudice as a result of the dismissal. In

addition, no Defendant filed a counterclaim in this case. Accordingly, this case is hereby dismissed

without prejudice pursuant to FED.R.CIV. P. 41(a)(2). The Clerk of the Court is Ordered to close this

case.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
