ORDER TO CORRECT ELECTRONIC

COURT FILING INFORMATION AND

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE WHY CASE

SHOULD NOT BE DISMISSED FOR

FAILURE TO PROSECUTE

After plaintiff failed to appear at the January 14, 2008

case management conference, file a case management conference

statement, or seek leave of the court to have his presence

excused, the court issued an order to show cause why the case

should not be dismissed for failure to prosecute. 

Plaintiff did not appear at the March 10, 2008 show

cause hearing. During the hearing, the clerk attempted to

contact plaintiff’s counsel, James Edward Marshall, by

telephone. Mr. Marshall did not answer and the clerk left a

message. The following day, Mr. Marshall contacted the court

clerk, apologized for his absence, and stated he would file a

response by March 14, 2008. 

To date, plaintiff has not filed a response to the order

to show cause. Moreover, it does not appear that he has

served the summons issued on July 20, 2007. 

Recently, it has come to the court’s attention that Mr.

Marshall did not properly register his email address with the

court’s Electronic Court Filing (ECF) system. Because of Mr.

Marshall’s error, it is not clear whether plaintiff has been

receiving the court’s orders.1 Mr. Marshall is HEREBY ORDERED

to correct his registration ECF by no later than April 18,

2008. (Mr. Marshall may contact the ECF Hotline at (866)

638-7829 if he experiences any difficulties.) 

 In light of the fact that plaintiff may not have

received notice of the show cause hearing, plaintiff is again

ORDERED to show cause why this case should not be dismissed

for lack of prosecution on Wednesday, April 30, 2008, at 

10:00 a.m., in Courtroom G, 15th Floor, Federal Building, 450

Golden Gate Avenue, San Francisco, California, 94102. 

The clerk is directed to serve a copy of this order on

Mr. Marshall at the address listed on plaintiff’s complaint.

Dated: April 4, 2008
