NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JUANITA SNEED,

Plaintiff,

v.

CHRISTIAN B. ANDERSON, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 14-cv-03292-JST 

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE WHY 

COMPLAINT SHOULD NOT BE 

DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE 

PURSUANT TO RULE 41(B) 

Re: ECF No. 32

On January 5, 2015, the Court issued an order to show cause why Plaintiff Juanita Sneed 

should not be sanctioned for her failure to appear at the case management conference that occurred 

on December 17, 2014 at 2:00 P.M. ECF No. 27. The Court set the order to show cause hearing 

for January 29, 2015 at 2:00 P.M and advised Plaintiff that she could request to appear 

telephonically. Id. Plaintiff failed to appear at the hearing. The Court finds that Plaintiff has 

failed to present good cause for her failure to appear at the December 17, 2014 case management 

conference. The Court hereby sanctions Plaintiff in the amount of $50, but will stay the 

imposition of these sanctions pending further order of the Court. 

In light of her failure to appear at the Court’s January 29, 2015 order to show cause 

hearing, the Court hereby issues an ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE why Plaintiff’s complaint should 

not be dismissed with prejudice pursuant to Rule 41(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, 

since monetary sanctions have proven ineffective, since Plaintiff has now failed to appear at two 

consecutive hearings, and since it appears that Plaintiff has abandoned the prosecution of the 

action.
