UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

LONNIE DAWSON,

Petitioner,

v.

R. ZUNIGA, Warden,

Respondent.

Case No. 1:15-cv-01217-LJO-SKO HC

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE WHY 

RESPONDENT SHOULD NOT BE 

SANCTIONED FOR FAILURE TO 

RESPOND TO THE PETITION

(Doc. 18)

RESPONSE DUE WITHIN 15 DAYS

On January 7, 2016, the Court entered an order granting Respondent’s third motion for an 

extension of time in which to respond to the petition for writ of habeas corpus in the abovecaptioned case, which was filed on August 6, 2015. Doc. 18. Although the order required that 

the response be filed on or before February 8, 2015, Respondent has neither filed his response nor 

requested a fourth extension of time in which to do so.

The Court has discretion to impose any and all sanctions authorized by statute or Rule or 

within the inherent power of the Court, based on Respondent's failure to comply with the Court's 

order. F.R.Civ.P. 11; Local Rule 110.

Accordingly, the Court hereby ORDERS that within 15 days from the date of this order, 

Respondent shall file a written response to the Court, showing cause why sanctions should not be 

imposed against him for failure to obey the Court's order of January 7, 2016. Filing of the answer 

to the petition shall be considered an appropriate response.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: February 10, 2016 /s/ Sheila K. Oberto
