Accordingly, the Court issued an order directing Plaintiff to file dispositional documents within 30

days of the date of the order as to all remaining defendants in that action except for defendant El

Dorado County. The Court further ordered that for all defendants not dismissed within thirty days,

the motion to sever filed by El Dorado County was granted and the Clerk of the Court was directed

to open separate civil actions for each remaining defendant. The Court dictated that any action

against defendant Calaveras County was to be transferred to the Eastern District of California,

Fresno Division.

On December 4, 2007, the matter was transferred to the Eastern District of California, Fresno

Division and designated as case number 1:07-cv-01762 AWI GSA, naming the Superior Court of

California, County of Calaveras as a defendant. At the time this matter was transferred, the Court

issued an Order Setting Mandatory Scheduling Conference requiring Plaintiff to diligently pursue

service of summons and complaint and to dismiss those defendants against whom Plaintiff would not

pursue claims. It appearing that the defendants named in the present action were dismissed prior to

transfer of the action to the Eastern District Court of California, Fresno Division, Plaintiff is now

ordered to show cause, if any he has, why Plaintiff has not sought a voluntary dismissal of the

present action in accordance with this Court’s Order Setting Mandatory Scheduling Conference. 

Therefore, Plaintiff is ORDERED to file a written response to this Order to Show Cause WITHIN

twenty (20) days of the date of this Order regarding of his failure to seek a dismissal of this action or

otherwise prosecute this matter. Failure to respond to this Order to Show Cause within the time

specified will result in dismissal of this action.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
