United States District Court

Northern District of California

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JOHN DOE,

Plaintiff,

v.

COUNTY OF SONOMA, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No.16-cv-05195-JD 

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

At 10:00 am on Thursday, January 26, 2017, the Court held an initial case management 

conference and motion to dismiss hearing, both of which were noticed for this date. Pro se 

plaintiff John Doe, who is proceeding under a pseudonym, did not appear. Plaintiff had made no 

prior request to be excused from the hearing or to reschedule the hearing date. His failure to 

appear is unexcused and violates the Local Rules and the Court’s standing order for civil cases.

Doe is ordered to show cause why the Court should not dismiss this case for failure to 

prosecute. His written response is due by February 9, 2017. 

If Doe intends to pursue this case, he may wish to consult a manual the court has adopted 

to assist pro se litigants in presenting their case. This manual, and other free information, is 

available online at: http://cand.uscourts.gov/proselitigants.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: January 26, 2017
