(Doc. 28.) On July 14, 2016, the Court entered an order granting the aforementioned requested relief. (Doc. 48.) Pursuant to the terms of the Court's order, Defendants were given seven (7) days to respond to any future motions filed by Plaintiffs seeking authorization of in custodia legis expenses. (Id. ¶ 3.)

(Doc. 69.) Defendants' response to that motion was therefore due on or before August 17, 2016; to date, Defendants have failed to respond to said motion.

(Doc. 77.)
