UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

VIETNAM REFORM PARTY,

Plaintiff,

v.

VIET TAN - VIETNAM REFORM 

PARTY, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 17-cv-00291-HSG 

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

Plaintiff filed this action on January 20, 2017. Dkt. No. 1. On August 26, 2019, the Court 

granted in part and denied in part Plaintiff’s motion for default judgment. Dkt. No. 90. In its 

order, the Court set a case management conference for September 3, 2019 “to discuss a plan for 

the prompt resolution of this matter in its entirety.” Id. at 21. Plaintiff failed to appear at the 

September 3, 2019 case management conference.

Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b) provides that where a “plaintiff fails to prosecute or 

to comply with these rules or a court order, a defendant may move to dismiss the action or any 

claim against it.” Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b). The Court may also sua sponte dismiss a case for lack of 

prosecution. Link v. Wabash R. Co., 370 U.S. 626, 630-31 (1962). Accordingly, Plaintiff is 

ordered TO SHOW CAUSE why the remaining claims in this case should not be dismissed for 

failure to prosecute. Plaintiff must file a statement of no more than two pages by September 6, 

2019.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: 9/4/2019
