UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

EVE DEL CASTELLO,

Plaintiff, No. C 06-6278 PJH

v. ORDER OF DISMISSAL

BRUCE MCPHERSON, Secretary

of State, et al.,

Defendants.

_______________________________/

On October 31, 2006, this court dismissed without prejudice plaintiff’s complaint and

application to proceed in forma pauperis. Plaintiff was advised to file an amended

complaint no later than November 29, 2006 or the case would be dismissed with prejudice. 

Plaintiff failed to file an amended complaint by that date.

The court has considered the five factors set forth in Malone v. United States Postal

Service, 833 F.2d 128, 130 (9th Cir. 1987), and has determined that notwithstanding the

public policy favoring the disposition of actions on their merits, the court's need to manage

its docket and the public interest in the expeditious resolution of the instant litigation require

dismissal of this action. In view of plaintiff's lack of response to this court's prior order, the

court finds there is no appropriate less drastic sanction. 

Accordingly, this action is DISMISSED with prejudice pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. Pro.

41(b) for plaintiff's failure to prosecute. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: January 5, 2007 ______________________________
