United States District Court

Northern District of California

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ANNE CAMERON CAIN, et al.,

Plaintiffs,

v.

TWITTER INC.,

Defendant.

Case No.17-cv-02506-JD 

ORDER DISMISSING CASE

Re: Dkt. No. 89

On September 24, 2018, the Court dismissed without prejudice plaintiffs’ federal claims

for failure to state a claim, and declined to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over their state law 

claims. Dkt. No. 89. The Court gave plaintiffs until October 15, 2018 to file an amended 

complaint and advised them that failure to amend by that date would “result in dismissal under 

Rule 41(b).” Id. As of the date of this order, the Court has not received an amended complaint.

The Court has considered the five factors set forth in Malone v. United States Postal 

Service, 833 F.2d 128, 130 (9th Cir. 1987). The Court finds that notwithstanding the public policy 

favoring the disposition of actions on their merits, the Court’s need to manage its docket and the 

public interest in the expeditious resolution of the litigation require dismissal of this action. There 

is no appropriate less drastic sanction in light of plaintiffs’ failure to amend their complaint in a 

timely manner. This action is dismissed with prejudice pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. Pro. 41(b) for 

plaintiffs’ failure to prosecute.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: October 22, 2018
