SAN JOSE DIVISION

BRIAN R. GRANTHAM,

Plaintiff,

v.

HUNT & HENRIQUES,

Defendant.

Case No. 5:16-cv-05402-HRL 

ORDER FOR REASSIGNNMENT TO A 

DISTRICT JUDGE

REPORT AND RECOMMNENDATION 

RE DISMISSAL

Plaintiff Brian R. Grantham, proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis, filed this action on 

September 21, 2016, alleging violations of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, 15 U.S.C. §

1692, et seq. There has been no appearance by defendant. The court held an Initial Case 

Management Conference on January 17, 2017. However, plaintiff did not appear. Nor did he file 

a Case Management Statement as required by Civil Local Rule 16-9.

On January 17, 2017, this court issued an order directing plaintiff to appear on January 31, 

2017 and show cause why this case should not be dismissed for failure to prosecute and for failure 

to adhere to court deadlines. Plaintiff made no appearance at that hearing.

Because not all parties have consented to the undersigned’s jurisdiction, this court 

ORDERS the Clerk of the Court to reassign this case to a District Judge. The undersigned further 

RECOMMENDS that this case be dismissed without prejudice for failure to prosecute and failure 

to comply with the court’s deadlines and orders. Any party may serve and file objections to this
