UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JOHN REGAN,

Plaintiff,

v.

CALIFORNIA STATE GOVERNMENT, et 

al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 19-cv-02558-TSH 

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

On May 13, 2019, Plaintiff John Regan filed a Complaint against the “California State 

Government,” “California Courts,” and “Does 1 to 100,000,000,” alleging the complaint relates to 

his father’s probate and that “[d]etails to be amended, provided later.” ECF No. 1. Regan also 

filed an Application to Proceed In Forma Pauperis. ECF No. 2. On May 15, 2019, the Court 

granted Regan’s in forma pauperis application but found his complaint fails to state a claim on 

which relief may be granted pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e). ECF No. 4. The Court ordered 

Regan to file an amended complaint addressing the deficiencies identified in the screening order 

by June 19, 2019, warning him that it would recommend dismissal if he failed to comply. 

As Regan failed to file an amended complaint, the Court ORDERS him to show cause 

why this case should not be dismissed for failure to prosecute and failure to comply with court 

deadlines. Regan shall file a declaration by July 5, 2019. If a responsive declaration is filed, the 

Court shall either issue an order based on the declaration or conduct a hearing on July 18, 2019 at 

10:00 a.m. in Courtroom A, 15th Floor, 450 Golden Gate Avenue, San Francisco, California. 

Notice is hereby provided that failure to file a written response will be deemed an admission that 

Regan does not intend to prosecute, and the Court will recommend the case be dismissed without 

prejudice. Thus, it is imperative the Court receive a written response by the deadline above.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
