MICHELLE MELLEMS,

Plaintiff,

 v.

SECRETARY OF STATE DEBRA BOWEN, et

al.,

Defendants. /

No. C 09-3427 SI

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

On July 27, 2009, plaintiff filed this pro se complaint against California Secretary of State Debra

Bowen and the California “Safe at Home” Program. On October 1, 2009, defendant Bowen filed a

motion to dismiss the complaint. The motion was originally scheduled for a hearing on November 4,

2009, but after this case was reassigned to this Court, the motion was scheduled for January 22, 2010.

Plaintiff’s opposition to the motion was due no later than January 4, 2010. Plaintiff has not filed an

opposition, nor has plaintiff taken any action in this case since it was filed.

Accordingly, the Court orders plaintiff to file a declaration by January 22, 2010 stating why this

case should not be dismissed without prejudice for failure to prosecute. The January 22, 2010 hearing

on defendant’s motion to dismiss is VACATED. The Court will reschedule the hearing on the motion

if necessary. Failure to comply with these deadlines will result in dismissal of plaintiff’s complaint. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
