UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

OLABISI BODUNDE,

Plaintiff,

v.

WALGREENS BOOTS ALLIANCE, INC.,

Defendant.

Case No. 1:24-cv-00985-JLT-SAB

ORDER DISCHARGING ORDER TO 

SHOW CAUSE

(ECF Nos. 38, 41, 44)

On March 26, 2024, Olabisi Bodunde (“Plaintiff”) filed this action against Walgreens 

Boots Alliance, Inc. (“Defendant”) in the Northern District of Illinois. (ECF No. 1.) On May 

30, 2024, Defendant filed a motion to dismiss for failure to state a claim. (ECF No. 18-20.) On 

June 10, 2024, an order was filed granting Plaintiff’s unopposed motion to stay this matter 

pending resolution of a motion to transfer the action to the United States Judicial Panel on 

Multidistrict Litigation (“MDL”) and the motion to dismiss was denied without prejudice. (ECF 

No. 26.) On August 2, 2024, a joint status report was filed informing the Court that the MDL 

had denied Plaintiff’s motion and requesting leave to file an updated status report suggesting 

next steps. (ECF No. 27.) On August 21, 2024, this matter was transferred to the Eastern 

District of California by motion of the parties. (ECF No. 30.) 

On August 23, 2024, the Court provided that the parties may file a joint status report 

suggesting next steps but noted that a responsive pleading is due. (ECF No. 35 at 2.) The Court

therefore ordered that Defendant file a responsive pleading on or before September 6, 2024. 

Defendant failed to file a responsive pleading or otherwise respond to the Court’s order by 

September 6, 2024. Accordingly, on September 9, 2024, the Court issued an order to show cause 

requiring a response in writing from Defendant no later than September 23, 2024 why default 

should not be entered. (ECF No. 38.) To facilitate Defendant’s ability to comply with the order, 

the Court sua sponte granted Defendant a fourteen day extension of time to file a responsive 

pleading. 

On September 23, 2024, Defendant filed a motion to dismiss. (ECF No. 40.) Because 

Defendant did not file a response to the Court’s order to show cause, the Court issued an order 

stating daily sanctions would accrue if Defendant did not respond by September 25, 2024. (ECF 

No. 41.) On September 25, 2024, Defendant filed a response to the order to show cause. (ECF 

No. 44.) In light of Defendant’s response, the Court finds good cause to discharge the order to 

show cause. 

Accordingly, it is HEREBY ORDERED that the order to show cause issued on 

September 9, 2024 (ECF No. 38) is DISCHARGED.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: September 26, 2024
