UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DEVONTE B. HARRIS,

Plaintiff,

v.

ROXANNE COLEMAN,

Defendant.

Case No.: 1:20-cv-00759-ADA-SKO (PC)

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE WHY ACTION 

SHOULD NOT BE DISMISSED FOR 

FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH COURT 

ORDER AND FAILURE TO PROSECUTE

(Doc. 58)

FOURTEEN (14) DAY DEADLINE

Plaintiff Devonte B. Harris is proceeding pro se in this civil rights action pursuant to 42 

U.S.C. § 1983. The action proceeds on a single claim of retaliation in violation of the First 

Amendment against Defendant R. Coleman. This matter is set for a pretrial conference on June 

27, 2023, and a jury trial on August 29, 2023.

On February 16, 2023, the Court issued a second scheduling order directing Plaintiff to 

file his pretrial statement on or before June 12, 2023. (Doc. 58 at 2.) Plaintiff was advised that a 

failure to file a pretrial statement as required by that order may result in the imposition of 

appropriate sanctions, which may include dismissal of the actin or entry of default. (Id.) The 

deadline for the filing of Plaintiff’s pretrial statement has expired, and Plaintiff has failed to 

comply with the Court’s scheduling order or to otherwise communicate with the Court.
