UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

BARBARA MANU,

Plaintiff,

v.

J.P. MORGAN CHASE BANK,

Defendant.

Case No.: 19cv592 DMS (MDD)

ORDER (1) ADOPTING REPORT 

AND RECOMMENDATION AND (2) 

DISMISSING CASE

On March 4, 2019, Plaintiff Barbara Manu, proceeding pro se, filed a Complaint 

against Defendant J.P. Morgan Chase Bank in San Diego Superior Court alleging a claim 

for breach of contract. On April 1, 2019, Defendant removed the case to this Court. 

On June 26, 2019, Magistrate Judge Mitchell D. Dembin issued an Order To Show 

Cause why Plaintiff should not be sanctioned for failing to appear at the Early Neutral 

Evaluation conference. Pursuant to that Order, Plaintiff was to file a written response on 

or before July 15, 2019. Plaintiff failed to do so, and she failed to appear for the Order to 

Show Cause hearing on July 26, 2019. After that hearing, the Magistrate Judge entered a 

minute order indicating he would be filing a report and recommendation (“R&R”) 

recommending the case be dismissed with prejudice. That Report and Recommendation 

("R&R") issued on October 1, 2019. Plaintiff did not file an objection to the R&R, and the 

time for doing so has expired.

This Court, having reviewed de novo the Magistrate Judge's R&R, adopts the

Magistrate Judge’s recommendation that this case be dismissed, but dismisses the case 

without prejudice rather than with prejudice. The Clerk of Court shall enter judgment 

accordingly and terminate this case. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
