ORDER TO FILE CONSENT OR DECLINE 

FORM OR SHOW CAUSE WHY THIS 

ACTION SHOULD NOT BE DISMISSED 

FOR FAILURE TO PROSECUTE AND 

FAILURE TO OBEY A COURT ORDER

(ECF Nos. 3, 4)

ORDER TO CLERK’S OFFICE TO SEND 

PLAINTIFF A SECOND ORDER RE 

CONSENT OR DECLINE TO 

MAGISTRATE JURISDICTION AND 

BLANK IFP APPLICATION FOR A

FOURTEEN (14) DAY DEADLINE

Plaintiff Samantha Anderson (“Plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se in this 

civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff initiated this case on August 15, 2016. 

(ECF No. 1.)

On August 17, 2016, the Court ordered Plaintiff to either consent to or decline Magistrate 

Judge jurisdiction within thirty (30) days. (ECF No. 3.) Thereafter, on August 18, 2016, the 

Court ordered Plaintiff to submit a completed application to proceed in forma pauperis, or pay 

the filing fee within thirty (30) days. (ECF No. 4.) These deadlines have expired, and Plaintiff 

has not complied with either of these orders, nor otherwise responded to the Court’s orders.

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

Local 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.” Further, the failure of Plaintiff to 

prosecute this action is grounds for dismissal. In re Phenylpropanolamine (PPA) Products 

Liability Litigation, 460 F.3d 1217, 1226 (9th Cir. 2006). 

Accordingly, it is HEREBY ORDERED as follows:

1. The Clerk of the Court is directed to serve this order, a blank IFP application for a 

prisoner, and a second order re consent or request for reassignment, on Plaintiff; 

2. Within fourteen (14) days from the date of service of this order, Plaintiff shall 

EITHER: 

(a) Complete and return the order re consent or request for reassignment, and 

submit the attached application to proceed in forma pauperis, completed and signed, or in the 

alternative, pay the $400.00 filing fee for this action; OR

(b) Show cause in writing why this action should not be dismissed for failure 

to prosecute and failure to obey the court’s orders. 

3. Plaintiff is warned that the failure to respond to this order will result in 

dismissal of this action for failure to prosecute and failure to obey a court order.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
