ORDER OF DISMISSAL

On April 27, 2016, Plaintiff Robert McCarthy filed this action against Defendants Trustee 

Littie B. Nash, Cappo Management XXVIII, and Joe Shaghasi, asserting violation of (1) the 

Americans with Disabilities Act (“ADA”) and (2) California accessibility laws. Dkt. No. 1. On 

April 28, 2016, the Court entered the standard scheduling order for cases asserting denial of right 

of access under the ADA. Dkt. No. 4.

On October 18, 2016, the Court issued an order to show cause why Plaintiff had failed to 

file a “Notice of Need for Mediation” by the Court’s September 21, 2016, deadline. Dkt. No. 10. 

Plaintiff failed to respond to the Court’s order to show cause.

On October 25, 2016, the Court issued another order to show cause why the Court should 

not dismiss this action for failure to prosecute. Dkt. No. 11. In the order, the Court informed 

Plaintiff that failure to respond would result in dismissal of this action with prejudice. Id. 

Plaintiff again did not respond to the Court’s order.
