Plaintiff,

v.

STATE OF CALIFORNIA, CALIFORNIA 

HIGHWAY PATROL, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 15-cv-05939-JSC 

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

Plaintiff Terry Domino Ferguson, proceeding pro se, originally filed suit in the Superior 

Court of California, County of Contra Costa, against Defendants State of California, California 

Highway Patrol, Officer Chris Davidson, and Does 1-25 (together, “Defendants”) in connection 

with Defendants’ conduct during Plaintiff’s arrest on June 28, 2014. Defendants removed this 

action to federal court on December 22, 2015. (Dkt. No. 1.) Pursuant to the Court’s order, the 

parties were required to file a joint case management conference statement by June 2, 2016, and to 

appear for a Case Management Conference on June 9, 2016. (Dkt. No. 13.) Plaintiff, however, 

did not participate in filing a joint case management conference statement and did not appear at 

the Case Management Conference on June 9, 2016. Plaintiff has also failed to respond to four 

separate notices asking that he decline or consent to magistrate judge jurisdiction. (Dkt. Nos. 6, 8, 

10, 14.)

Accordingly, Plaintiff is Ordered to Show Cause as to why this action should not be 

dismissed for failure to prosecute under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b). Plaintiff shall

appear for hearing on the Order to Show Cause on June 30, 2016 at 1:30 p.m. in Courtroom 

F, 450 Golden Gate Ave., San Francisco, California. 

If Plaintiff fails to appear on June 30, this action may be dismissed without further notice.
