UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SAN JOSE DIVISION

SCOTT JOHNSON,

Plaintiff,

v.

PENTA ENTERPRISES LLC, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No.18-cv-06483-VKD 

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE WHY 

ACTION SHOULD NOT BE

DISMISSED

Plaintiff Scott Johnson filed the present action on October 24, 2018. Dkt. No. 1. Pursuant 

to the Court’s order granting in part and denying in part the parties’ stipulated request to extend 

the joint site inspection deadline, the parties’ last day to conduct a joint site inspection was March 

21, 2019, and Mr. Johnson’s last day to file a notice of need for mediation was April 11, 2019. 

Dkt. No. 15. Mr. Johnson did not file a notice of need for mediation, nor did he seek relief from 

the April 11 deadline. 

The Court possesses the inherent power to dismiss an action sua sponte “to achieve the 

orderly and expeditious disposition of cases.” Link v. Wabash R.R. Co., 370 U.S. 626, 629–33 

(1962). Mr. Johnson is directed to file a written response to this order by April 16, 2019 and to 

appear before the Court on April 23, 2019 at 10:00 a.m. in Courtroom 2, Fifth Floor, 280 South 

First Street, San Jose, California 95113 and show cause why this action should not be dismissed 

without prejudice for failure to prosecute.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
