SEVEN DAY DEADLINE

Plaintiff Sabras Ortiz Mojarro filed this action on January 22, 2020. (ECF No. 1.) On 

January 27, 2020, Plaintiff’s application to proceed in forma pauperis was granted and the 

summonses and new case documents, including the order setting the mandatory scheduling 

conference were issued. (ECF No. 6-9.) The mandatory scheduling conference was set for April 

28, 2020. (ECF No. 9.) 

On April 4, 2020, due to the pending scheduling conference, an order was filed requiring 

Plaintiff to file either proof of service on Defendants or a notice of the status of service within 

five days. (ECF No. 11.) More than five days have passed and Plaintiff has not complied with or 

otherwise responded to the April 8, 2020 order.

sanctions . . . within the inherent power of the Court.” The Court has the inherent power to

including dismissal of the action. Bautista v. Los Angeles County, 216 F.3d 837, 841 (9th Cir.

and

4. Plaintiff is forewarned that the failure to show cause may result in the 

imposition of sanctions, including the dismissal of this action for failure 

comply and failure to prosecute.
