Description
COFFIN, Chief Judge. The sole issue presented in this case is whether the district court abused its discretion in dismissing plaintiff's suit for want of prosecution. On June 6, 1975, plaintiffs Eduardo Zavala Santiago and Juan A. Rivera Cosme, instituted an action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 in which they alleged that defendants, the mayor and municipality of Arecibo, had discharged them by reason of plaintiffs' political activities on behalf of one element of the Popular party. The district court denied their request for a temporary restraining order, but because it believed that it was in the interest of all concerned for there to be a prompt decision on plaintiffs' request for injunctive relief, the district court commendably issued a ""show cause"" order which would ensure that a full hearing could occur on October 22, 1975.
