and were to be dismissed upon notice of dismissal by plaintiff. 

2 In the instant case, the court ordered service upon defendants on October 17, 2014. On 

3 November 12, 2014, plaintiff filed a document indicating that he was in the process of 

4 conducting a global settlement conference with defendant in other cases, and that "a tentative 

5 settlement agreement was reached which may result in me moving to dismiss this action." 

6 (Docket No. 18.) The court has not received further notice from plaintiff as to his intent to 

7 prosecute this action. 

8 Thus, it is in the interests of justice and judicial efficiency for the court to establish 

9 whether plaintiff intends to continue to prosecute this action. Plaintiff shall file a notice of his 

10 continued intent to prosecute this action or request for dismissal, within twenty-eight (28) days 

11 from the filing date of this order. Failure to do so will result in the dismissal of this action 

12 without prejudice for failure to prosecute under Rule 41(b) ofthe Federal Rules of Civil 

13 Procedure. See Malone, 833 F.2d at 133.
