NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SAN JOSE DIVISION

RAFAEL ARROYO, JR.,

Plaintiff,

v.

ENRIQUE ALVA JR., et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 14-CV-03958-LHK 

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE FOR 

FAILURE TO PROSECUTE

Plaintiff, with the assistance of counsel, brought suit on September 2, 2014, against 

Defendants Enrique Alva Jr., Lilia Alva, and South First Furniture, Inc. (collectively, 

“Defendants”). ECF No. 1. Because Plaintiff’s original complaint asserted a right-of-access claim 

under the Americans with Disabilities Act, Plaintiff must comply with the requirements set forth 

in the Northern District of California’s General Order 56. See ECF No. 4 (applying General Order 

56 to the instant case).

Plaintiff filed a First Amended Complaint (“FAC”) on October 15, 2014, ECF No. 17, and 

Defendants subsequently moved to dismiss the FAC, ECF Nos. 20 & 24. The Court denied 

Defendants’ motions to dismiss the FAC on February 9, 2015. ECF No. 28. Defendants answered 

the FAC on March 4, 2015. ECF No. 31. In addition, on February 9, 2015, Defendants filed a

motion to relate this case to another action. ECF No. 29. The Court denied Defendants’ motion to 

relate on April 24, 2015. ECF No. 33. 

Nearly a year has passed since the Court denied Defendants’ motion to relate, and there 

have been no subsequent filings in this case by either side. The Court hereby ORDERS Plaintiff 

to show cause why the instant action should not be dismissed with prejudice for failure to 

prosecute. Plaintiff has until March 18, 2016 to file a written response, not to exceed five pages in 

length, to this Order to Show Cause. A hearing on this Order to Show Cause is set for March 24, 

2016, at 1:30 p.m. If Plaintiff fails to respond to this Order to Show Cause and fails to appear at 

the March 24, 2016 Order to Show Cause hearing, the Court will dismiss with prejudice this case 

for failure to prosecute.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: March 15, 2016
