14.) Plaintiff’s opposition was due on March 18, 2019. To date, Plaintiff has not filed an 

opposition.

Accordingly, by no later than April 12, 2019, the Court orders Plaintiff to (1) file a 

response to this order to show cause and explain why his case should not be dismissed for failure 

to prosecute, and (2) file an opposition to the motion for judgment on the pleadings. The response 

to this order to show cause and the opposition should be filed as separate documents. To aid in his 

compliance with this order, Plaintiff may wish to contact the Federal Pro Bono Project’s Help 

Desk—a free service for pro se litigants— by calling (415) 782-8982 to make an appointment to 

obtain legal assistance from a licensed attorney.

action for failure to prosecute. See Judge Westmore’s General Standing Order ¶ 22 (“The failure
