UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ISABEL TUBACH, 

Plaintiff,

v.

GOVERNOR JERRY BROWN, 

Defendant.

Case No. 1:12-cv-01798-AWI-SMS (PC)

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE WHY THIS ACTION 

SHOULD NOT BE DISMISSED FOR 

PLAINTIFF’S FAILURE TO OBEY A COURT 

ORDER

Doc. 10

RESPONSE DUE WITHIN FIFTEEN (15) DAYS

Plaintiff Isabel Tubach (“Plaintiff”) is a prisoner in the custody of the California 

Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (“CDCR”). Plaintiff is proceeding pro se and in 

forma pauperis in this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff filed the 

Complaint in this action on October 30, 2012. Doc. 1. 

In the Complaint, Plaintiff alleges that she has been physically and sexually abused and 

harassed in violation of the Eighth Amendment, and that the Defendant has denied her medical 

care. The complaint fails to state specific factual details and the dates of the occurrences of 

which Plaintiff complains. The majority of the allegations are legal conclusions rather than 

detailed factual allegations. 

On November 21, 2013, the Court ordered Plaintiff to submit within thirty (30) days a

more definite statement of facts so that the Court could screen the Complaint in compliance with

28 U.S.C. § 1915A. Doc. 10. The order warned Plaintiff that failure to comply as directed might

result in the dismissal of this action under Rule 41(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 

without further notice. Although more than thirty days have passed, Plaintiff has neither provided 

a more definite statement of facts, requested an extension of time to comply, nor responded to the 

Court’s order in any other way. 

The Court has discretion to impose any and all sanctions authorized by statute or Rule or 

within the inherent power of the Court, including dismissal of an action, based on Plaintiff’s 

failure to comply with a court order. Fed. R. Civ. P. 11; Local Rule 110.

Accordingly, the Court HEREBY ORDERS that:

1. within fifteen (15) days from the date of service of this order, Plaintiff shall file a 

written response to the Court, showing cause why this case should not be dismissed 

for Plaintiff's failure to obey the Court’s order of November 21, 2013; and

2. Plaintiff's failure to comply with this order will result in the dismissal of this action 

without further notice.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
