THIRD ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

ORDER VACATING HEARING RE:

MOTION TO DISMISS

On March 25, 2010, Defendant Tom Vilsack filed a Motion to Dismiss. (Dkt. #32.) The

Court subsequently set Defendant’s motion for a hearing on April 29, 2010, and ordered Plaintiff

Dean Apostol to file any opposition by April 13, 2010. (Dkt. #39.) Plaintiff has failed to file an

opposition. Based on the procedural background of this case, including two prior orders to show

cause, (Dkt. ##23, 25), the Court finds that Plaintiff’s conduct in this case may warrant dismissal

with prejudice for failure to prosecute. Accordingly, the Court hereby ORDERS Plaintiff Dean

Apostol to show cause why this case should not be dismissed pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil

Procedure 41 for failure to prosecute. Plaintiff shall file a declaration by April 26, 2010, and the

Court shall conduct a hearing on May 6, 2010 at 10:00 a.m. in Courtroom B, 15th Floor, 450 Golden

Gate Avenue, San Francisco, California. The April 29, 2010 hearing on Defendant’s motion to

dismiss is hereby VACATED.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
