UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

RANJIT S. GILL,

Plaintiff, No. C 05-3512 PJH

v. ORDER DISMISSING

CASE FOR FAILURE TO

U.S. DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE PROSECUTE

EXECUTIVE OFFICE FOR IMMIGRATION 

REVIEW,

Defendant.

_______________________________/

On January 13, 2006, the court issued an order to show cause why plaintiff’s claims

should not be dismissed pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b), plaintiff having

failed to appear at the case management conference set for January 12, 2006. A hearing

on the order to show cause was set for January 26, 2006. Plaintiff again failed to attend.

When circumstances make such action appropriate, a district court may dismiss a

complaint for failure to prosecute, in order to achieve the orderly and expeditious

disposition of cases. See Link v. Wabash R.R. Co., 370 U.S. 626, 630-32 (1962); Oliva v.

Sullivan, 958 F.2d 272, 273 (9th Cir. 1992). Plaintiff’s failure to appear at the case

management conference, and the further failure to appear at the subsequent hearing on

the order to show cause, constitute circumstances warranting the court’s dismissal of

plaintiff’s complaint pursuant to Rule 41(b).

Accordingly, the complaint is dismissed.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: January 30, 2006 ______________________________
