NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

RON STEPHEN REDHEAD, et al.,

Plaintiffs,

v.

WILLIE BROWN COMMUNITY 

CENTER,

Defendant.

Case No. 16-cv-01422-EDL 

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

On March 23, 2016, Plaintiffs Ron Stephen Redhead, Shanna Howard and Antanysha

Dean filed this complaint and Plaintiff Redhead filed an application to proceed in forma pauperis 

(“IFP application”). On March 29, 2016, the Court denied Plaintiff Redhead’s IFP application 

with leave to amend to include an IFP application for Plaintiff Howard. On March 31, 2016, 

Plaintiffs filed a motion that appears to request leave to file an amended complaint that removes 

Plaintiffs Howard and Dean from the case. On April 4, 2016, the Court denied the request as 

leave of the Court is not required to amend the complaint at this stage and ordered Plaintiffs to file 

an amended complaint by no later than April 14, 2016. Plaintiffs have not filed an amended 

complaint.

Accordingly, Plaintiffs are hereby ordered to show cause why this case should not be

dismissed for failure to prosecute pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b). Plaintiffs’

written response to this Order to Show Cause or an amended complaint shall be filed no later than 

May 10, 2016. A show cause hearing is scheduled for May 24, 2016 at 2:00 p.m. in Courtroom E, 

15th floor, 450 Golden Gate Avenue, San Francisco, CA. Should Plaintiffs file an amended 

complaint by May 10, 2016, the show cause hearing will be vacated. Plaintiffs are cautioned that 

if they fail to file a response to this Order to Show Cause or an amended complaint by May 10,
