SAN JOSE DIVISION

FACULTY MEMBERS AT MIDDLE 

EASTERN SCHOOLS, et al.,

Plaintiffs,

v.

RICHARD DONOVAN, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 15-cv-03974-BLF 

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

To each and every Plaintiff, you are hereby ORDERED to SHOW CAUSE in writing, on 

or before November 17, 2016, why this case should not be dismissed for failure to prosecute.

Thirty-four individual plaintiffs brought this action involving allegations of discriminatory 

practices and favoritism with respect to promotions. First Am. Compl. 3:21-25, ECF 13. On 

April 15, 2016, the Court granted Defendant American Federation of Government Employees, 

AFL-CIO, Local 1263’s motion to dismiss without leave to amend and granted Defendant Richard 

P. Donovan’s motion to dismiss with partial leave to amend. ECF 33. Further, the Court ordered 

Plaintiffs to file any amended complaint on or before May 16, 2016. Id. Plaintiffs did not amend 

their complaint within the time provided and still have not amended it. Currently before the Court 

is a motion for an entry of judgment filed by two of the named plaintiffs, ECF 41, but the other 

thirty-two plaintiffs have yet to respond to the Court’s order granting the motions to dismiss. A 

prior Order to Show Cause was mailed to one of the named Plaintiffs – Plaintiff Ahmed Nuri, but

not to other Plaintiffs.

Accordingly, the Court again ORDERS each of the other thirty-three Plaintiffs to SHOW 

CAUSE why this case should not be dismissed for failure to prosecute. Each Plaintiff shall submit 

a written response on or before November 17, 2016. The Court advises Plaintiffs that a failure to 

respond to the Order to Show Cause by November 17, 2016 will result in the dismissal of the case 

with prejudice pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b).

The Court directs the Clerk to mail this Order to each of the thirty-three individual 

Plaintiffs who was not served by mail with the prior Order to Show Cause, ECF 42. The Court 

also notes that most of the Plaintiffs have failed to provide an address for service of court 

documents and none of the Plaintiffs has requested Electronic Case Filing pursuant to Local Rule 

5-1(b). Thus, the Clerk is directed to serve by mail each Plaintiff in care of Plaintiff Ahmed Nuri,

who is the only Plaintiff who has provided a mailing address. Mr. Nuri is ordered to distribute the 

envelope to each Plaintiff. The Clerk is further directed to email this notice to each Plaintiff.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: October 17, 2016
