UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SCOTT JOHNSON,

Plaintiff,

v.

MANGIBEN PATEL,

Defendant.

Case No. 18-cv-04422-KAW 

SECOND ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

On January 23, 2019, the parties filed a joint notice of settlement. (Dkt. No. 12.) On

January 28, 2019, the Court ordered Plaintiff to file a dismissal within 60 days. (Dkt. No. 14.) 

Thus, Plaintiff's dismissal was due by March 29, 2019.

As of the date of this order, Plaintiff has not filed his dismissal. Accordingly, the Court 

ORDERS Plaintiff to show cause, by April 17, 2019, why the case should not be involuntarily 

dismissed by filing his dismissal.

The Court also notes that this is the second order to show cause issued in this case. (See

Dkt. No. 10.) Additionally, the Court observes that Plaintiff's counsel has repeatedly failed to 

comply with court orders and deadlines in other cases filed in this district. E.g., Johnson v. RK 

Investment Properties, Case No. 18-cv-1132-KAW, Dkt. Nos. 17, 20 (Orders to Show Cause); 

Johnson v. Patel, Case No. 18-cv-4422-KAW, Dkt. No. 10 (Order to Show Cause); Johnson v. 

Revel, Case No. 18-cv-3300-KAW, Dkt. Nos. 15, 20 (Orders to Show Cause); Johnson v. Let it 

Flho, LP, Case No. 18-cv-1293-SBA, Dkt. No. 31 (sua sponte dismissing case after Plaintiff 

repeatedly failed to comply with deadlines); Johnson v HDLM Associates, Inc., Case No. 18-cv4434-SBA, Dkt. No. 15 (Order to Show Cause); Johnson v. Patel, Case No. 18-4783-VKD, Dkt. 

No. 19 (Order to Show Cause); Johnson v. Shobeiri, Case No. 18-cv-4816-VKD, Dkt. No. 14

United States District Court

Northern District of California

(Order to Show Cause); Johnson v. Baird Lands, Inc., Case No. 18-cv-5365-VKD, Dkt. No. 16 

(Order to Show Cause). From here on out, Plaintiff shall comply with all court orders or be 

subject to sanctions because it is not the Court's duty to ensure that Plaintiff meets his deadlines. 

As previously stated in the Johnson v. Revel case, Plaintiff's counsel is obligated to come up with a 

system for properly managing Plaintiff's cases.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: April 8, 2019
