SAN FRANCISCO CULINARY BARTENDERS AND SERVICE EMPLOYEES PENSION FUND, Defendant. / 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 On February 29, 2008, this Court discharged its Order to Show Cause as to why the case should not be dismissed for failure to prosecute. Plaintiffs were then advised that any future failure to appear or to file required documents will be sanctioned, up to and possibly including, by dismissal of this case. In addition, Plaintiffs' request for appointment of counsel was denied and they were advised that the San Francisco Bar Association operates a lawyer referral service which may be helpful in securing pro bono counsel. On March 13, 2008, the Court received a "Motion to Seek US Visa" filed by Plaintiffs. There is no authority upon which the Court may grant Plaintiffs a United States visa. The motion is therefore DENIED. Plaintiffs, citizens of the Philippines, filed this matter in the United States and are responsible for prosecuting the case, with or without the aid of pro bono counsel. IT IS SO ORDERED.
