Brief was due filed and served by August 25, 2008. To date,

plaintiff has neither filed an Opening Brief nor sought an

extension of time within which to do so.

A failure to comply with an order of the Court may result

in sanctions, including dismissal, pursuant to the inherent power

of the Court or the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Fed. R.

Civ. P. 41(b), 11; Local Rule 11-110; Chambers v. NASCO, Inc.,

501 U.S. 31, 42-43 (1991). Plaintiff’s failure to timely file an

Opening Brief may result in dismissal of this action.

Therefore, it is HEREBY ORDERED that this matter is SET for

hearing, at which plaintiff must PERSONALLY APPEAR, on Friday,

September 19, 2008 at 9:30 a.m. in Courtroom No. 7 on the Sixth

Floor of the United States Courthouse, 2500 Tulare Street,

Fresno, CA, 93721, before the Honorable Sandra M. Snyder, United

States Magistrate Judge, to show cause why this action should not

be dismissed for failure to file an opening brief and for lack of

prosecution. Plaintiff is herein ADVISED that failure to

personally appear on September 19, 2008, will result in outright

dismissal of this action.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
