THOMAS HEATON SPITTERS,

Plaintiff,

v.

CENTRAL EUROPEAN STUDIES,

Defendant.

Case No.19-cv-02863-JSC 

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

Re: Dkt. No. 5

Plaintiff filed this civil action on May 23, 2019 with an application to proceed in forma 

pauperis. (Dkt. No. 3.) The in forma pauperis application, however, was incomplete and failed to 

include any financial information. The Court therefore denied the application to proceed in forma 

pauperis and ordered Plaintiff to submit a renewed application or the filing fee by June 20, 2019. 

(Dkt. No. 5.) To date, Plaintiff has done neither. Accordingly, Plaintiff is ORDERED TO SHOW 

CAUSE in writing by July 11, 2019 as to why this action should not be dismissed for failure to 

prosecute. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b). Plaintiff’s response to the Order to Show Cause shall be 

accompanied by either a renewed application to proceed in forma pauperis or the filing fee. If 

Plaintiff fails to comply with this Order, the Court will reassign this action to a district judge and 

recommend that the action be dismissed for failure to prosecute.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: June 27, 2019
