SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

Plaintiff,

REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION

TO DISMISS THE COMPLAINT

FINANCIAL CORPORATION; and DOES 1-

10,

Defendants.

 On July 24, 2009, this court issued an order setting an Early Neutral Evaluation

Conference (ENE) for September 3, 2009, at 2:00 p.m. [Doc. No. 6.] The docket shows that the

ENE order was mailed to plaintiff PAULINE ORBETA at 4679 Torrey Circle D109, San Diego,

CA 92130. The ENE order required the parties to submit ENE statements by August 27, 2009. 1

The Court never received an ENE statement from the plaintiff. On September 3, 2009, at 2:00

p.m., defendants and defendants’ counsel appeared at the ENE. Plaintiff failed to appear.

On September 3, 2009, this Court issued an Order to Show Cause (OSC) requiring

plaintiff PAULINE ORBETA to appear at a hearing on September 23, 2009 at 9:30 a.m. in

Courtroom E of the above-entitled court, to show cause as to why sanctions should not be imposed

2 09cv1110

for her failure to attend the court-ordered ENE on September 3, 2009. [Doc. No. 8.] The OSC order 2

also required plaintiff PAULINE ORBETA to file a declaration on or before September 17, 2009,

informing the Court why she did not attend the ENE on September 3, 2009, and why sanctions should

not be imposed for her failure to appear. Plaintiff PAULINE ORBETA failed to file a declaration

and failed to appear at the OSC on September 23, 2009. 

THEREFORE, this Court RECOMMENDS to the District Court that the complaint be

DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE for plaintiff’s failure to prosecute the action pursuant to

Fed.R.Civ.Pro. Rule 41(b).

On or before October 14, 2009, any party may file and serve written objections with the

Court and serve a copy on all parties. The document shall be entitled “Objections to Report and

Recommendation.”

Any reply to the objections shall be filed and served no later than ten days after being

served with the objections.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
