UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

NHAN VAN PHAM,

Plaintiff,

v.

CATHAY PACIFIC AIRWAYS LIMITED, 

et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 16-cv-00487-EMC 

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

Plaintiff Nhan Van Pham has filed suit against Defendants Cathay Pacific Airways Limited 

(“Cathay”) and Alinah Binte Jaffar (apparently, erroneously sued as Diamond Jaffas), asserting 

claims for defamation, unlawful confinement/false arrest, and negligence. After the case was 

removed from state to federal court, Ms. Jaffar filed a motion to dismiss for lack of personal 

jurisdiction and Cathay filed a motion for judgment on the pleadings. Mr. Pham’s oppositions to 

the motions were due on April 29, 2016. No oppositions were filed on that day.

Accordingly, the Court hereby VACATES the May 26, 2016, hearing on Defendants’ 

motions. Mr. Pham is hereby ordered to show cause as to why his complaint should not be 

dismissed, with prejudice, for failure to oppose and/or failure to prosecute. Mr. Pham shall also 

address, in his response to this order to show cause, the substantive arguments raised by 

Defendants in their respective motions.
