UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JOSEPH MILLHOLEN,

Plaintiff,

v.

ROBERT BOSCH TOOL 

CORPORATION,

Defendant.

No. 2:15-cv-1001-MCE-KJN PS

ORDER

On May 20, 2015, the court dismissed plaintiff’s complaint with leave to amend. (ECF 

No. 8.) The court directed plaintiff, no later than June 17, 2015, to file either a first amended 

complaint or a notice of voluntary dismissal of the action without prejudice. (Id.) Although that 

deadline has long passed, plaintiff failed to file either a first amended complaint or a notice of 

voluntary dismissal; nor has plaintiff requested an extension of time to do so. 

The court has carefully considered whether the action should be dismissed at this time. 

Nevertheless, in light of plaintiff’s pro se status and the court’s desire to resolve the action on the 

merits, the court first attempts lesser sanctions in the form of an order to show cause and 

monetary sanctions.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. No later than July 15, 2015, plaintiff shall pay the Clerk of Court $150.00 in monetary 

sanctions based on his failure to comply with the court’s order and failure to prosecute 

the case.

2. No later than July 15, 2015, plaintiff shall show cause in writing why the action should 

not be dismissed pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b) based on plaintiff’s 

failure to comply with the court’s order and failure to prosecute the case.

3. No later than July 15, 2015, plaintiff shall file a first amended complaint that complies 

with the court’s May 20, 2015 order. 

4. Alternatively, if plaintiff no longer wishes to proceed with the case at this time, 

plaintiff may file a notice of voluntary dismissal of the action without prejudice no 

later than July 15, 2015, in lieu of paying the above-mentioned sanctions, responding 

to the order to show cause, and filing a first amended complaint.

5. Failure to timely comply with this order may result in dismissal of the action with 

prejudice pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b).

6. The Clerk of Court shall serve another copy of the court’s prior May 20, 2015 order on 

plaintiff along with this order.

IT IS SO ORDERED. 

Dated: June 26, 2015
