UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DONALD L. MARR II,

Plaintiff, No. C 05-3728 PJH 

v. ORDER OF DISMISSAL FOR

FAILURE TO PROSECUTE

JO ANNE BARNHART, Commissioner

of Social Security,

Defendant.

___________________________________/

On April 3, 2006, the court issued an order to show cause why plaintiff’s claims should

not be dismissed for failure to file a motion for summary judgment as required, pursuant to

Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 56 and Civil L.R. 7-2 . The court ordered plaintiff, who appears

to be represented by counsel, to show cause regarding his failure to file and serve his motion

within ten days of the date of the court’s order. Plaintiff has once again failed to respond.

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 (1) in prosecuting his appeal and (2) to this

court's prior order, the court finds there is no appropriate less drastic sanction. Accordingly,

per the court’s warning in its prior order to show cause, plaintiff’s action is DISMISSED with

prejudice pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b), for failure to prosecute.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: April 26, 2006 ______________________________
