UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

CYNTHIA HOPSON,

Plaintiff,

v.

ELIASER MONTANEZ, dba EL CHARRO 

RESTAURANT, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 1:15-cv-00803-SAB

ORDER REQUIRING PLAINTIFF TO 

SHOW CAUSE WHY THIS ACTION 

SHOULD NOT BE DISMISSED FOR 

FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH A COURT 

ORDER

(ECF No. 28)

FIVE DAY DEADLINE

On September 12, 2016, the parties filed a notice of settlement, and an order issued on 

September 13, 2016, requiring the parties to file dispositive documents on or before October 28, 

2016. On October 31, 2016, Plaintiff filed a request for an extension of time to file dispositive 

documents. On November 2, 2016, the Court granted Plaintiff’s request for an extension of time 

to December 5, 2016 to file dispositive documents. The parties were advised that any future 

requests for extensions of time should be made before the expiration of a deadline. Dispositive 

documents were not filed, nor did the parties otherwise respond to the November 2, 2016 order. 

Local Rule 110 provides that “[f]ailure of counsel or of a party to comply with these 

Rules or with any order of the Court may be grounds for imposition by the Court of any and all 

sanctions . . . within the inherent power of the Court.” The Court has the inherent power to 

control its docket and may, in the exercise of that power, impose sanctions where appropriate, 

including dismissal of the action. Bautista v. Los Angeles County, 216 F.3d 837, 841 (9th Cir. 

2000).

Accordingly, the Court HEREBY ORDERS Plaintiff TO SHOW CAUSE within five (5) 

days of the date of entry of this order why this action should not be dismissed for failure to

cause may result in the imposition of sanctions, including the dismissal of this action.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
