MEMORANDUM **
This is an appeal from the order of the United States District Court dismissing appellants’ complaint without prejudice for failure to exhaust administrative remedies.
On November 29, 2005, this court denied appellants’ motion to proceed in forma pauperis and ordered appellant, within 21 days, to pay the filing fees and simultaneously show cause why the judgment challenged in this appeal should not be summarily affirmed. Appellants paid the filing fees but failed to respond to the order to show cause; accordingly this appeal was dismissed on February 27, 2006 for failure to prosecute.
On October 15, 2007, appellant Christianson filed an “emergency motion to show cause or motion to reopen case.” This filing is construed as a motion to reinstate the appeal, and, so construed, is granted.
A review of the record, the opening brief, and the response to the order to show cause indicates that the questions raised in this appeal are so insubstantial as not to require further argument. See United States v. Hooton, 693 F.2d 857, 858 (9th Cir.1982) (per curiam).
Accordingly, we summarily affirm the district court’s judgment.
