Now pending for decision before the Court are the motions of the law firm of

Robinson, Calcagnie & Robinson (“Robinson”) to (1) file affidavits under seal, and (2)

withdraw as counsel for plaintiffs in the above actions. Robinson’s motions to file affidavits

under seal are GRANTED.

After carefully considering those affidavits, the Court ORDERS PLAINTIFFS TO

SHOW CAUSE as to why (1) Robinson’s motion to withdraw as counsel should not be

granted; and (2) each plaintiff’s lawsuit should not be dismissed for a lack of prosecution. 

See Fed. R. Civ. P. 41. If a plaintiff wishes to contest the withdrawal of counsel Robinson

and/or dismissal of the plaintiff’s lawsuit for failure to prosecute, the plaintiff shall appear,

either individually or through new counsel, at a hearing at 10:00 a.m. on October 6, 2006 at

Courtroom 8, 19th Floor, 450 Golden Gate Avenue, San Francisco, CA 94102.

Counsel Robinson is directed to immediately serve this order on the above plaintiffs at

their last known addresses.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: September 12, 2006
