A case management conference was scheduled at 2:15 p.m. on February 2, 2011, to consider Plaintiffs' appeal. On December 3, 2010, the court sent notice of the scheduled case management conference to Plaintiffs at 1339 SW 16^th Street, Redmond, Oregon 97756, which is the address Plaintiffs provided to the court. The notice was not returned as undeliverable. The notice advised that if Plaintiffs did not appear, the court might dismiss the appeal.

On February 2, 2011, the court sent Plaintiffs a letter that explained the importance of diligently pursuing an appeal. That letter was not returned as undeliverable. The letter advised that if Plaintiffs did not provide a written explanation by February 16, 2011, for their failure to appear, the court would dismiss the appeal. As of this date, Plaintiffs have not submitted a written response to the court explaining their failure to appear at the February 2, 2011, case management conference. Under such circumstances, the court finds the appeal must be dismissed for lack of prosecution. Now, therefore, IT IS THE DECISION OF THIS COURT that the Complaint is dismissed.
