TAJAI CALIP,

Plaintiff,

v.

M.E.I.C., et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 15-cv-02357-MEJ 

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

On May 27, 2015, Plaintiff Tajai Calip filed a Complaint against Defendants “Dr. Brooks” 

and insurance company “M.E.I.C.” for the death of her infant daughter, as well as an Application 

to Proceed In Forma Pauperis (“IFP”). Plaintiff consented to magistrate judge jurisdiction on June 

10, 2015. Dkt. No. 5. After reviewing Plaintiff’s IFP Application, the Court was unable to 

determine whether Plaintiff is entitled to proceed in forma pauperis and ordered her to provide the 

following information:

(1) Whether she is presently employed, and if so, the amount of her 

gross and net salary or wages received per month. If Plaintiff is 

presently unemployed, she should state the date of her last 

employment and the amount of the gross and net salary or wages per

month that she received from that prior employment.

(2) If she receives money from “Business, Profession or self 

employment” and/or “Federal or State welfare payments, Social 

Security or other government source,” which specific sources 

provide those funds and how much does she receive from each per 

month?

Dkt. No. 6. The Court warned Plaintiff that if she did not file a responsive declaration by July 1, 

2015, her Complaint may be dismissed. Id. Plaintiff failed to respond.

Based on this inaction, the Court hereby ORDERS Plaintiff Tajai Calip to show cause why 

this case should not be dismissed for failure to prosecute and failure to comply with court 

deadlines. Plaintiff shall file a declaration by July 29, 2015. If a responsive declaration is filed,

written response by the deadline above.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
