SAN JOSE DIVISION

Raymond Abels,

Plaintiff,

 v.

JBC Legal Group, P.C., et al.,

Defendants. /

NO. C 04-02345 JW 

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE RE:

DISMISSAL FOR FAILURE TO

PROSECUTE

Raymond Abels (“Plaintiff”) brings this putative class action against JBC Legal Group, P.C.,

Jack Boyajian, and Outsource Management, Inc. (collectively, “Defendants”) for alleged violations

of the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1692, et seq. On November 11, 2004,

the Court issued a Scheduling Order for the case. (See Docket Item No. 16.) Pursuant to the

Scheduling Order, close of all discovery was set for August 8, 2005. (Id.) On June 12, 2006, the

Court denied Defendants' motion to dismiss the Second Amended Complaint. (See Docket Item No.

166.) Since that time, neither party has taken any action in the case. However, it is Plaintiff’s duty

to prosecute his action.

Accordingly, the parties shall appear in Courtroom No. 8, 4th Floor, United States District

Court, 280 South First Street, San Jose, California on Monday, March 17, 2008 at 9:00 a.m. and to

show cause, if any, why the case should not be dismissed pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b) for lack

of prosecution. On or before March 10, 2008, the parties shall file a certification in response to the

Order to Show Cause. The certification shall set forth the status of the litigation and the reason no

action has been taken.
