DISMISSED FOR FAILURE TO

PROSECUTE

On July 11, 2005, Plaintiff filed the complaint in this action in the United States District

Court for the Central District of California. On October 25, 2005, this Court received the case

pursuant to a stipulation to transfer the matter to this district.

On December 23, 2005, Defendants filed a motion to dismiss and noticed that motion

for a hearing on January 27, 2006. Pursuant to Northern District Civil Local Rule 7-3(a),

Plaintiff’s opposing brief would have been due on January 6, 2006. No such brief was filed. On

January 13, 2006, Defendants filed their reply brief noting the lack of opposition to the motion. 

In addition to reiterating arguments raised in their motion, Defendants also set forth facts which

suggest that Plaintiff has not been diligent in prosecuting this case. 

Accordingly, PLAINTIFF IS HEREBY ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE, in writing, why

the case should not be dismissed for failure to prosecute. Plaintiff’s response shall be due on

January 20, 2006. Defendants may file a response on January 24, 2006. This matter shall
