UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

CLIFFORD HELMER,

Plaintiff, No. Civ. S-09-2977 FCD DAD

v. ORDER FOR DISMISSAL

COUNTRYWIDE HOME LOANS, Inc.

Defendant.

____________________________/

On April 14, 2010, plaintiff’s counsel, Duane L. Tucker, was

ordered to pay sanctions in the amount of $150.00 and to show

cause why this action should not be dismissed for failure to

prosecute. The court ordered counsel to pay the sanctions by

April 28, 2010, and to file a response to the Order to Show Cause

on or before May 7, 2010, and to appear at a hearing set for May

21, 2010 at 10:00 a.m.

A review of the docket shows that Mr. Tucker has neither

paid the ordered sanctions, nor filed a response to the Order to

Show Cause. 

Accordingly, the court makes the following orders:

1. The Order to Show Cause hearing set for May 21, 2010 is

VACATED; and

2. Plaintiff’s case is dismissed for failure to 

prosecute, Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b), and for failure to

respond to this court's order, Ferdik v. Bonzelet, 963

F.2d 1258, 1260-61 (9th Cir. 1992). With respect to

dismissal for failure to follow court orders, the court

has reviewed the five factors set forth in Ferdik and

finds that each warrants dismissal of plaintiff's case.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

DATED: May 12, 2010
