v.

SONOMA COUNTY SUPERIOR COURT,

Defendants.

Case No. 15-cv-01642-KAW 

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

Pro se plaintiff Rheanna Kennedy commenced this action on April 10, 2015.1 Several of 

the defendants to this case have moved to dismiss the operative complaint. The motions were 

filed on December 21, 2015, January 12, 2016, January 19, 2016, and February 2, 2016. (Dkt. 

Nos. 26, 32, 38, 48.) So that the remaining defendants could be served and have an opportunity to 

appear, the Court continued the hearing on the motions to June 16, 2016. (Dkt. No. 61.) The 

notice resetting the hearing date stated, "[r]egardless of whether the Court reschedules the hearing 

date, all opposition and reply papers shall be timely filed pursuant to Civil L.R. 7-7(d)." (Id.)

Plaintiff has not filed an opposition to any of the motions to dismiss, a statement of nonopposition to the motions, or any other document indicating her intent to prosecute this case. 

Accordingly, the Court orders Plaintiff, by no later than June 3, 2016, to show cause why this case 

should not be dismissed for failure to prosecute, and file (1) either an opposition to each motion to 

dismiss or a statement of non-opposition to each motion to dismiss and (2) a written a response to 

this order to show cause. The response to this order to show cause and the opposition (or nonopposition) to the motion to dismiss should be filed as separate documents. Failure to timely file 

 

1 On July 30, 2015, Plaintiff consented to magistrate judge jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §

636(c). Dkt. No. 8.
