NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SAN JOSE DIVISION

KHALID MOHAMMAD,

Plaintiff,

v.

CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF 

CORRECTIONS and DOE-AO, DOE-PD, 

DOE-DA, and DOE-CDC, 

Defendants.

Case No. 14-cv-03837-BLF 

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

TO PLAINTIFF KHALID MOHAMMAD:

YOU ARE HEREBY ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE IN WRITING, by no later than 

June 12, 2015, why this case should not be dismissed pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 

41(b) for failure to prosecute.

On February 18, 2015, this Court granted the Motion to Dismiss by defendant California 

Department of Corrections and dismissed that defendant from the case. Order, ECF 16. The 

Court did not dismiss pro se plaintiff Khalid Mohammad’s case entirely, finding that Plaintiff 

should have an opportunity to identify and serve the Doe Defendants he alleged in his complaint. 

Id. at 2, 6. To date, Plaintiff has not identified any of the Doe Defendants, nor has he 

communicated to the Court that he needs more time. 

On April 9, 2015, the Court held an Initial Case Management Conference. Plaintiff did not 

appear, nor did he file a case management statement with the Court. 

Plaintiff is therefore required to file a written response by June 12, 2015 explaining why 

this case should not be dismissed for failure to prosecute, and/or why he has not identified any of 

the Doe Defendants or otherwise communicated with the Court regarding the status of the case.
