DECISION OF DISMISSAL
JILL A. TANNER, Presiding Magistrate.

This matter is before the court on its own motion to dismiss this case for lack of prosecution.

On February 15, 2011, the court sent the parties a Journal Entry instructing Plaintiffs to file a written response to Defendant’s written status report by April 4, 2011. The Journal Entry advised that failure to comply with the deadlines set forth therein might result in dismissal of Plaintiffs appeal.

Plaintiffs’ deadline has passed and the court has not received the Plaintiffs’ written response or any further communication from Plaintiffs. Plaintiffs failed to provide any information in response to Defendant’s document request filed with its Answer. (Def’s Ans, filed Dec 29, 2010, Ex A.) As a consequence, the court finds this matter should be dismissed for lack of prosecution. Now, therefore,
