UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

AURORA CERVANTES,

Plaintiff,

v.

BILSON’S SPORT SHOP, INC., et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 1:14-cv-0157-SAB

ORDER REQUIRING PLAINTIFF TO 

SHOW CAUSE WHY THIS ACTION 

SHOULD NOT BE DISMISSSED FOR 

FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH COURT 

ORDER

(ECF No. 21)

DEADLINE: DECEMBER 28, 2015

On August 10, 2015, Plaintiff filed a notice of settlement and was ordered to file 

dispositional documents within sixty days. (ECF Nos. 16, 17.) On October 14, 2015, Plaintiff’s 

request for an extension of time to file dispositional documents was granted and dispositional 

documents were to be filed on or before November 16, 2015. (ECF No. 19.) Plaintiff did not 

file dispositional documents in compliance with the October 14, 2015 order and an untimely 

request for an extension of time was filed on November 29, 2015, which the Court granted. 

(ECF Nos. 20, 21.) Pursuant to the November 29, 2015 order, Plaintiff was required to file 

dispositional documents on or before December 14, 2015. Plaintiff has not complied with or 

otherwise responded to the November 30, 2015 order.

Plaintiff is advised that this Courts orders are not mere suggestions but are order which 

the parties are expected to complied with. This is the second time that Plaintiff has failed to 

timely comply with an order requiring dispositional documents to be filed in this action. Further,

the parties have now had over four months to finalize the settlement in this action.

Local Rule 110 provides that “[f]ailure of counsel or of a party to comply with these 

Rules or with any order of the Court may be grounds for imposition by the Court of any and all 

sanctions . . . within the inherent power of the Court.” The Court has the inherent power to 

control its docket and may, in the exercise of that power, impose sanctions where appropriate, 

including dismissal of the action. Bautista v. Los Angeles County, 216 F.3d 837, 841 (9th Cir. 

2000).

Accordingly, the Court HEREBY ORDERS PLAINTIFF TO SHOW CAUSE by 

December 28, 2015 why dispositive documents have not yet been filed. Plaintiff is forewarned 

that the failure to show cause may result in the imposition of sanctions, including the 

dismissal of this action for failure to prosecute.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: December 15, 2015
