        Appeal from a July 25, 2016 order of the United States District Court for the Southern
District of New York (Richard J. Sullivan, Judge).

     UPON DUE CONSIDERATION WHEREOF, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED,
ADJUDGED, AND DECREED that the order be and hereby is AFFIRMED.

        Plaintiff-Appellants (“Plaintiffs”) appeal the District Court’s order of dismissal with
prejudice pursuant to Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 16(f) and 41(b).

        In this case, Plaintiffs make no arguments concerning the District Court’s final order in their
principal brief. An appellant is deemed to have waived arguable claims on an issue that is not argued
in his or her principal brief. See, e.g., Gross v. Rell, 585 F.3d 72, 95 (2d Cir. 2009). Accordingly, the
District Court’s order of July 25, 2016 is affirmed.

                                           CONCLUSION

        We AFFIRM the District Court’s order of July 25, 2016.
