ORDER RE MOTION FOR RELIEF FROM ORDER OF DISMISSAL

(JFLC1)

**E-Filed 7/17/2007**

NOT FOR CITATION

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SAN JOSE DIVISION

JUNE FOSTER,

 Plaintiff,

 v.

KNTV TELEVISION, INC., et al.,

 Defendants.

Case Number C 06-5688 JF (PVT)

ORDER RE MOTION FOR RELIEF 1

FROM ORDER OF DISMISSAL

[re: docket no. 52]

On June 13, 2007, the Court dismissed the instant action for failure to prosecute. On

June 25, 2007, Plaintiff moved for relief from that dismissal on the basis that she was unaware of

the case management conference that she did not attend. On July 10, 2007, the Court received

the mandate of the Ninth Circuit affirming this Court’s denial of leave to proceed in forma

pauperis and denying all other motions as moot. In light of that decision by the Ninth Circuit,

Plaintiff must pay the filing fee in a timely manner before proceeding with the instant action. If

Plaintiff pays the filing fee, the Court will grant Plaintiff’s motion for relief from the order of

dismissal and lift the stay on the action. The Court reiterates its previous observation that this

 Plaintiff requests judicial notice of this fact, but attaches no document in support of this

2

request. The Court has no reason to doubt Plaintiff’s statement that she believes that a petition

for rehearing is pending. However, in light of the fact that the mandate has been filed, it is highly

unlikely that such a petition actually remains before the Ninth Circuit.

action appears to be subject to dismissal or remand for lack of subject matter jurisdiction.

Plaintiff also asserts that she has filed for rehearing en banc in the Ninth Circuit. 

Assuming this to be true, the Court’s analysis is largely unchanged. If Plaintiff prevails on 2

rehearing, the Court will reinstate the action and she will be able to proceed in forma pauperis. 

If Plaintiff does not prevail, she must pay the filing fee in a timely manner before the Court will

reinstate the action.

 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

DATED: July 17, 2007.
