ORDER THAT CASE BE

REASSIGNED TO DISTRICT

COURT JUDGE, AND

RECOMMENDATION THAT CASE

BE DISMISSED FOR FAILURE TO

PROSECUTE 

Plaintiff filed the Complaint in this matter on May 24, 2005. On June 2, 2005, the court

granted Plaintiff's Motion for Leave to Proceed In Forma Pauperis. On October 17, 2005,

Defendant filed an Answer to the Complaint in this matter.1

 Civil Local Rule 16-5 states:

"Within 30 days of receipt of defendant's answer, plaintiff must file a motion for summary

judgment pursuant to Civil L.R. 7-2 and FRCivP 56." On June 12, 2006, the Court issued an

Order to Show Cause (the “OSC”) why the case should not be dismissed for failure to prosecute

based on Plaintiff’s failure to file a Motion for Summary Judgment or any other documents in

the case after May 24, 2005. The OSC set a deadline of June 30, 2006 for Plaintiff to file a

declaration stating why this case should not be dismissed for failure to prosecute. As of the date
