SAN JOSE DIVISION

DAVID ALAN MORGENSEN,

Plaintiff,

v.

DOWNEY SAVINGS AND LOAN 

ASSOCIATION, FA, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 5:15-cv-02000-HRL 

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE WHY THIS 

CASE SHOULD NOT BE DISMISSED

Plaintiff filed this lawsuit on May 4, 2015, alleging various violations in connection with 

non-judicial foreclosure proceedings. Although the complaint named a number of defendants, 

defendant Greenwich Capital Financial Products, Inc. (Greenwich) is the only one that has 

appeared in this action. Plaintiff and Greenwich recently advised that they have reached a 

settlement and anticipate filing a dismissal shortly.

As for the remainder of the defendants, plaintiff has not prosecuted his claims. There is no 

indication on the docket that any of the other defendants have been served, and the deadline for 

effecting service has long since passed. Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(m). Additionally, this court dismissed 

plaintiff’s complaint; and, although the court harbored some doubt whether plaintiff could amend 

his complaint to state a plausible claim for relief, plaintiff was given leave to amend, consistent 

with the rulings in the court’s January 20, 2016 order. (Dkt. 40). Plaintiff, however, has not filed

an amended complaint, and the April 11, 2016 deadline has passed. Plaintiff undoubtedly was 

aware of that filing deadline because it was set when the court issued an order granting his request 

for an extension of time. (Dkt. 43). Further, in that same order, the court re-set the Initial Case 

Management Conference for May 31, 2016, 1:30 p.m. (Id.). Although Greenwich made an 

appearance at the conference, plaintiff did not.

Accordingly, plaintiff shall appear before this court on June 14, 2016, 10:00 a.m.

Courtroom 2, Fifth Floor, United States District Court, 280 South First Street, San Jose, California 

and show cause why this case should not be dismissed for his failure to prosecute and to comply 

with this court’s orders.

SO ORDERED.

Dated: May 31, 2016
