VANCE S. ELLIOTT,

Plaintiff,

v.

TELERICO,

Defendant.

Case No. 15-cv-03156-WHO 

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE WHY THIS 

CASE SHOULD NOT BE DISMISSED

On July 8, 2015, I issued an order granting plaintiff’s application to proceed in forma 

pauperis and dismissing his complaint for failure to state a claim. Dkt. No. 3. I gave him until 

August 7, 2015 to file an amended complaint. Id. 

As of the date of this order, plaintiff has not filed an amended complaint. By September 1, 

2015, plaintiff shall show cause, in writing, why this case should not be dismissed for failure to 

prosecute. Alternatively, by September 1, 2015, plaintiff may file an amended complaint that 

cures the deficiencies identified in the July 8, 2015 order dismissing his complaint. If plaintiff 

fails to file either a statement showing cause or an amended complaint, I will dismiss this case for 

failure to prosecute. See Pagtalunan v. Galaza, 291 F.3d 639, 642-43 (9th Cir. 2002) (discussing 

factors relevant to whether to dismiss a case for failure to prosecute or to comply with a court 

order).

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: August 12, 2015
