IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

KENNETH MURPHY, No. CIV S-07-0177 LKK EFB PS

Plaintiffs,

vs.

FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

TARGET CORPORATION, 

Defendant.

__________________________________/

This action was referred to the undersigned pursuant to Local Rule 72-302(c)(21), on

October 9, 2007. On October 10, 2007, the court ordered the parties to file either joint or

separate status reports by October 31, 2007, in anticipation of the scheduling conference set for

November 14, 2007. Defendant complied with that order, but plaintiffs did not. Accordingly, on

November 5, 2007, the court ordered plaintiffs to show cause in writing, by November 14, 2007,

why sanctions should not issue for their failure to comply with court orders. See Local Rule 11-

110. The court further directed plaintiffs to file by that date the previously-ordered status report,

and cautioned plaintiffs that failure timely to comply with that order would result in a

recommendation that this action be dismissed for lack of prosecution. 

The deadline for responding to the order to show cause and for filing the status report has

passed, and plaintiffs have done neither, nor have they otherwise responded this court’s
