NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

AL DAVIS JONES,

Plaintiff,

v.

DAISY SINNGH, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 4:18-cv-07771-KAW 

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE FOR 

FAILURE TO APPEAR AT THE CASE 

MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE

Re: Dkt. No. 21

On January 28, 2020, the Court held a case management conference, where Plaintiff Al 

Davis Jones did not appear. The Court notes that Plaintiff did not file a case management 

statement 7 days prior to the case management conference as required by the undersigned’s 

standing order. (See Judge Westmore’s Standing Order ¶ 8.) 

The Court further notes that the summonses were returned unexecuted, because the U.S. 

Marshal was unable to locate the out-of-state defendants, who are accused of defrauding Plaintiff. 

While the Court has no reason to doubt the truthfulness of Plaintiff’s allegations, procedurally, the 

case cannot go forward at this time, because Plaintiff cannot obtain a valid judgment against nonappearing parties who have not been served.

Nonetheless, Plaintiff is ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE, in writing, by no later than 

February 24, 2020, why the case should not be dismissed for failure to prosecute. Alternatively, 

Plaintiff may file a voluntary dismissal.

Failure to timely respond to this order to show cause may result in this case being 

reassigned to a district judge with the recommendation that it be dismissed for failure to prosecute. 

In responding to this order to show cause, Plaintiff may wish to contact the Federal Pro 

Bono Project’s Help Desk for assistance—a free service for pro se litigants—by calling (415) 782-
