NORMAN JOHN MOORE,

Plaintiff,

THE SUPERIOR COURT,

Defendant. /

No. C 06-05820 JSW

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE WHY

CASE SHOULD NOT BE

DISMISSED

On September 21, 2006, Plaintiff Norman John Moore, proceeding pro se, filed this

action. On February 28, 2007, defendant Superior Court of California for the County of

Hayward (“Superior Court”) filed a motion to dismiss and noticed it for hearing on April 13,

2007. Pursuant to Local Civil Rule 7-3(a), Plaintiff’s opposition was due by March 23, 2007. 

To date, Plaintiff has not filed an opposition to the Superior Court’s motion.

Accordingly, Plaintiff is HEREBY ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE why his case should

not be dismissed (1) on the grounds that he has failed to properly prosecute this matter; and (2)

on the grounds raised by the Superior Court’s motion to dismiss. Plaintiff shall file a written

response to this Order and serve it on the Superior Court by no later than April 10, 2007. In the

response, Plaintiff should explain the factual basis of his claims against the Superior Court and

exactly what relief he is seeking. In particular, it is not clear from his petition whether the

underlying criminal proceedings against Plaintiff are still pending.
