TAJAI CALIP,

Plaintiff,

v.

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

Defendants.

Case No. 15-cv-02357-MEJ 

ORDER DISCHARGING ORDER TO 

SHOW CAUSE

Re: Dkt. No. 7

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 IFP and ordered her to provide a supplemental 

declaration. Dkt. No. 6. The Court warned Plaintiff that if she did not file the responsive 

declaration by July 1, 2015, her Complaint may be dismissed. Id. Plaintiff failed to respond by 

that date, and on July 15, 2015, the Court issued an Order to Show Cause to Plaintiff as to why 

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

deadlines. Dkt. No. 7. However, it appears that Plaintiff filed an amended IFP Application on 

July 13, 2015, but it was not entered into the docket for this case until July 17, 2015, after the 

Court issued the Order to Show Cause. See Dkt. No. 8. 

Although the amended IFP Application does not precisely comply with the Court’s Order 

for Plaintiff to file a responsive declaration, it does demonstrate Plaintiff’s intent to continue 

prosecuting this action and appears to address the Court’s earlier concerns. Accordingly, the 

Case 3:15-cv-02357-MEJ Document 10 Filed 07/24/15 Page 1 of 2

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: July 24, 2015
