MARCO HEYWARD,

Plaintiff,

v.

HAYWARD POLICE DEPARTMENT 

OFFICER, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 14-cv-03618-MEJ 

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

On March 9, 2015, Defendants filed a request to enforce the Court’s meet and confer 

requirement for discovery disputes, stating that Plaintiff Marco Heyward had not responded to 

their requests to meet and confer regarding outstanding disputes. Dkt. No. 20. Having found that 

Defendants made a good faith effort to meet and confer in compliance with the undersigned’s 

Discovery Standing Order, the Court ordered Defendants to file and serve on Plaintiff their portion 

of a draft joint discovery letter. Dkt. No. 21. After Defendants filed their letter, the Court ordered 

Plaintiff to file any response with 7 days. Id. Although Defendants filed their letter on March 16, 

2015, Plaintiff has failed to respond. 

Accordingly, the Court hereby ORDERS Plaintiff to show cause why this case should not 

be dismissed for failure to prosecute and failure to comply with court deadlines. Plaintiff shall file 

a declaration by April 7, 2015. If a responsive declaration is filed, the Court shall either issue an 

order based on the declaration or conduct a hearing on April 23, 2015 at 10:00 a.m. in Courtroom 

B, 15th Floor, 450 Golden Gate Avenue, San Francisco, California. Notice is hereby provided to 

Plaintiff that the Court may dismiss the case without a hearing if no responsive declaration is filed. 

Thus, it is imperative that the Court receive a written response by the deadline above.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: March 25, 2015
