SAID MAJLESSI,

Plaintiff,

v.

PUBLIC STORAGE CO., et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 15-cv-02092-KAW 

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

Said Majlessi ("Plaintiff"), who proceeds pro se, commenced the above-captioned case on 

May 8, 2015. (Compl., Dkt. No. 1.) Plaintiff also filed an application to proceed in forma 

pauperis and motion to appoint counsel. (Pl.'s IFP Appl., Dkt. No. 2; Pl.'s Mot., Dkt. No. 3.)

On June 1, 2015, the Court granted the application to proceed in forma pauperis, denied 

the motion to appoint counsel, and dismissed the complaint with leave to amend. (June 1, 2015 

Order, Dkt. No. 5.) In the order, the Court instructed Plaintiff to file an amended complaint within 

30 days. (Id.) As of the filing of this order, Plaintiff has not filed an amended complaint.

Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b) permits the involuntary dismissal of an action or 

claim due to a plaintiff's failure to prosecute. See Link v. Wabash R. Co., 370 U.S. 626, 630-31 

(1962) ("authority of a court to dismiss sua sponte for lack of prosecution has generally been 

considered an 'inherent power'"). As Plaintiff has not filed an amended complaint as required by 

the Court's June 1, 2015 Order, Plaintiff is ordered to show cause why this case should not be 

dismissed for failure to prosecute. Plaintiff shall file a written response to this order with 14 days. 

The Court may dismiss this action if Plaintiff fails to file a written response. If, however, Plaintiff 

wishes to pursue his claims exclusively in state court, where he has also sued the defendants, 

Plaintiff may file a voluntary dismissal instead of a response to the order to show cause.
