No. C 12-1674 EMC (pr)

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE WHY

ACTION SHOULD NOT BE DISMISSED

On March 10, 2015, this action was referred to Magistrate Judge Vadas for mediation

proceedings in the Pro Se Prisoner Mediation Program. Docket # 65. Magistrate Judge Vadas then

set a settlement conference for June 19, 2015 at the California State Prison - Solano, and issued a

writ of habeas corpus ad testificandum to obtain Plaintiff’s appearance at the settlement conference. 

On June 9, 2015, Magistrate Judge Vadas held a telephonic status conference regarding the

upcoming settlement conference, at which time Plaintiff stated that he would refuse to go to the

scheduled settlement conference. Magistrate Judge Vadas then informed Plaintiff that his failure to

attend the settlement conference could be grounds for dismissal. On June 17, 2015, prison officials

informed Magistrate Judge Vadas that Plaintiff (who currently is housed at Corcoran) refused to be

transported to the California State Prison - Solano to attend the settlement conference. Due to

Plaintiff’s non-appearance, Magistrate Judge Vadas was unable to conduct the June 19, 2015

settlement conference and returned the action to the undersigned. 

Plaintiff’s refusal to attend the settlement conference must now be addressed. Accordingly,

Plaintiff is ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE why this action should not be dismissed for failure to

prosecute and/or failure to comply with a court order. Plaintiff must file a written response to this
