UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

LUCILLE WINSTON, et al.,

Plaintiffs,

v.

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 14-cv-05417-MEJ 

SECOND ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

This case has been pending since December 11, 2014, yet there is no indication any of the 

named Defendants have been served in compliance with Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4. The 

Court previously ordered Plaintiffs to serve all Defendants by July 20, 2015, and warned: “Any 

Defendants that are not served by July 20 shall be dismissed without prejudice, unless Plaintiffs 

establish good cause for their failure to comply with court deadlines.” Dkt. No. 16. As there is 

still no indication that Defendants have been served, the Court ORDERS Plaintiffs to show cause 

why this case should not be dismissed for failure to prosecute and failure to comply with court 

deadlines. Plaintiffs shall file a declaration by August 28, 2015. If a responsive declaration is 

filed, the Court shall either issue an order based on the declaration or conduct a hearing on 

September 10, 2015 at 10:00 a.m. in Courtroom B, 15th Floor, 450 Golden Gate Avenue, San 

Francisco, California. Notice is hereby provided to Plaintiffs that the Court shall dismiss this case 

without a hearing if no responsive declaration is filed. Thus, it is imperative that the Court receive 

a written response by the deadline above. No chambers copy is required.

The August 27, 2015 Case Management Conference is VACATED. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: August 24, 2015
