UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

CATHERINE BRYAN,

Plaintiff,

v.

CITY OF CARLSBAD, et al.,

Defendant.

Case No.: 17cv697-LAB (BLM)

ORDER OF DISMISSAL

After dismissing some of Bryan’s claims with prejudice, and some without 

prejudice, the Court gave her leave to file an ex parte motion for leave to amend. 

(Docket no. 38.) The deadline for filing that motion was April 5, and she was 

directed to attach a copy of her proposed amended complaint as an exhibit. The 

order cautioned Bryan that if she failed to seek leave to amend within the time 

permitted, the case would be dismissed without leave to amend.

The Court has twice extended the time for Bryan to file her motion for leave 

to amend. Instead of filing that motion, she filed several lengthy uninvited motions. 

The May 3 deadline for seeking leave to amend (see Docket no. 48) has now 

passed, and Bryan has not complied with the Court’s order. 

The Court earlier cautioned Bryan that if she did not seek leave to amend 

within the time permitted, this action would be dismissed without leave to amend.

(Docket no. 38 at 2:14–16.) Bryan has not elected to stand on her complaint, but 

also has not amended or attempted to amend as ordered. Bryan has given the 

Court no reason to believe she can amend successfully, or that she is prepared to 

try to amend. All claims other than Bryan’s 42 U.S.C. '' 1983, 1985(w), and 1986 

claims arising out of the March 29, 2017 search have already been dismissed with 

prejudice. The remainder are now DISMISSED without prejudice for failure to 

prosecute.

Because all claims have now been dismissed, this action is DISMISSED 

WITHOUT LEAVE TO AMEND, and the clerk is directed to close the docket.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: May 4, 2018
