UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

RICHARD FLEMMING, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

COUNTY OF ALAMEDA, et al., 

Defendants. 

Case No. 14-cv-05542-TEH 

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE FOR 

PLAINTIFF’S FAILURE TO 

RESPOND TO COUNTY’S MOTION 

TO DISMISS 

 

On December 19, 2014, this case was removed from the Alameda County Superior 

Court. (Docket No. 1). On December 23, 2014, Defendants County of Alameda and 

Sheriff Gregory Ahern filed a motion to dismiss Plaintiff’s first amended complaint. 

(Docket No. 8). The case was reassigned to Judge Thelton E. Henderson on December 24, 

2014. (Docket No. 9). The motion to dismiss was re-noticed on December 30, 2014, with 

Plaintiff’s response due on January 6, 2015. (Docket No. 10). The Court has yet to 

receive a response to the motion, a violation of Northern District of California Civil Local 

Rule 7-3. Plaintiff’s counsel has not provided an adequate explanation for this violation. 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Plaintiff’s counsel shall appear to 

show cause on January 26, 2015, at 10:00 AM in Courtroom 2, 17th Floor of the Phillip 

Burton Federal Building, as to why this case should not be dismissed for failure to 

prosecute and/or why monetary sanctions should not issue for counsel’s failure to file an 

opposition to the motion to dismiss. Plaintiff shall file a written response to this order on 

or before January 21, 2015. Defendants do not need to attend the hearing or respond. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
