UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

CHARLENE LA DOUER,

Plaintiff,

v.

U.C.S.F,

Defendant.

Case No. 15-cv-02214-MEJ 

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

On July 15, 2015, the Court issued an Order seeking clarification regarding Plaintiff’s

pending In Forma Pauperis (“IFP”) Applications (Dkt. Nos. 5, 7), noting the Applications were 

handwritten and often difficult to read. Dkt. No. 16 at 2. To the extent the Court could read 

Plaintiff’s Applications, her responses were incomplete and in some cases provided inconsistent 

information; the Court was therefore unable to assess whether Plaintiff’s financial status qualifies 

her to proceed IFP. Id. at 4. The Court ordered Plaintiff to file “one amended IFP Application 

providing clear, legible, and complete answers to all the questions in the Application.” Id. at 5 

(emphasis in original). The Court ordered her to file the amended Application by August 12, 

2015, and warned her that if she did not file an amended Application by that date, her Complaint 

may be dismissed. Id. As of the date of this Order, Plaintiff has not filed an amended Application

or otherwise responded.

Accordingly, the Court hereby ORDERS Plaintiff Charlene La Douer to show cause why 

this case should not be dismissed for failure to prosecute and failure to comply with court 

deadlines. Plaintiff shall file a declaration by September 3, 2015. If a responsive declaration is 

filed, the Court shall either issue an order based on the declaration or conduct a hearing on
