UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SOPHEAY TON,

Plaintiff,

CASE NO. 09cv2276 JM(POR)

ORDER GRANTING MOTION TO

vs. DISMISS 

WELLS FARGO BANK, NA; WELLS

FARGO HOME MORTGAGE,

Defendant.

Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. individually and dba Wells Fargo Home Mortgage (collectively

“Wells Fargo”), moves to dismiss Plaintiff Sopheay Ton’s action for failure to prosecute or comply

with court order. Plaintiff did not file a response to the motion. Pursuant to Local Rule 7.1(d)(1), this

matter is appropriate for decision without oral argument. 

On December 10, 2009 the court entered an order granting Wells Fargo’s Rule 12(b)(6) motion

to dismiss for failure to state a claim and granting Plaintiff 30 days leave to amend (“Order”). (Docket

No. 10). Plaintiff has not responded to any of the motions filed by Wells Fargo nor did he file an

amended complaint. “For failure of the plaintiff to prosecute or to comply with these rules or any

order of court, a defendant may move for dismissal of an action or of any claim against the defendant.”

Fed.R.Civ.P. 41(b). In order to avoid dismissal, Rule 41(b) requires that federal actions be prosecuted

with reasonable diligence. Anderson v. Air West, Inc., 542 F.2d 522, 524 (9th Cir. 1976).

Here, the court concludes that Plaintiff’s failure to respond to the motions filed by Wells Fargo

or to file an amended complaint as set forth in this court’s earlier Order demonstrates a lack of

reasonable diligence to prosecute this action. Accordingly, the court grants the motion to dismiss for

failure to prosecute with prejudice. 

In sum, the motion to dismiss for failure to prosecute is granted with prejudice. The Clerk of

Court is instructed to close the file.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
