UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

BRENT OSTER,

Plaintiff,

v.

SANTA CLARA COUNTY DISTRICT 

ATTORNEY’S OFFICE et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 20-cv-01125-JD 

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE AND 

VACATING HEARING

Pro se plaintiff Brent Oster’s complaint against the Santa Clara District Attorney and 

Gilroy Police Department for alleged civil rights violations was removed without opposition to

this Court. Dkt. No. 1. Defendants moved to dismiss the complaint under Federal Rule of Civil 

Procedure 12(b)(6), or for a more definitive statement under Rule 12(e). Dkt. Nos. 7, 8. Under 

Civil Local Rule 7-3, Oster’s response was due on March 4, 2020. He has not filed a response of 

any kind, or otherwise opposed the motion.

Consequently, Oster is ordered to show cause in writing why the motion to dismiss should 

not be granted. Oster’s response is due by April 10, 2020. He is advised that a failure to meet this 

deadline will result in dismissal of the case for failure to prosecute. Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b). 

The hearing scheduled for March 26, 2020, is vacated. Defendants are directed to serve a 

copy of this order on Oster by email as they have previously done. Dkt. No. 13. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: March 19, 2020
