UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ZENAIDA CORDOVA,

Plaintiff,

v.

GREG RODRIGUEZ, et al., 

Defendants.

Case No. 1:24-cv-00482-JLT-SAB

ORDER REQUIRING PLAINTIFF TO SHOW 

CAUSE IN WRITING WHY SANCTIONS 

SHOULD NOT ISSUE FOR FAILURE TO FILE 

NOTICE WHETHER CASES SHOULD BE 

RELATED

(ECF No. 5) 

DEADLINE: MAY 20, 2024

On April 23, 2024, Plaintiff filed a complaint in this action against Defendants Greg 

Rodriguez and Michael Pallares. (ECF No. 1.) The Court’s review of the complaint suggests that 

this case may be related to other actions pending in this district. On April 26, 2024, the Court 

issued an order requiring Plaintiff to comply with Local Rule 123 and file a notice of related cases 

or, alternatively, a notice explaining why the action should not be related no later than May 10, 

2024. (ECF No. 5.) The deadline has now expired, and Plaintiff has not filed the required notice

nor requested an extension of time to do so. 

Local Rule 110 provides that “[f]ailure of counsel or of a party to comply with these Rules 

or with any order of the Court may be grounds for imposition by the Court of any and all 

sanctions ... within the inherent power of the Court.” The Court has the inherent power to 

control its docket and may, in the exercise of that power, impose sanctions where appropriate,

including dismissal of the action. Bautista v. Los Angeles Cnty., 216 F.3d 837, 841 (9th Cir. 

2000). The Court shall require Plaintiff to show cause why sanctions should not issue for the 

failure to notify the Court whether this case should be related in compliance with the Court’s 

order issued April 26, 2024. 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Plaintiff shall show cause in writing no later than May 20, 2024, why sanctions

should not issue for failure to file a notice of related cases or a notice explaining 

why the action should not be related by the deadline as required by the Court’s 

order (ECF No. 5); and 

2. Failure to comply with this order will result in the issuance of sanctions.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
