Antonin Guzman v. County of Orange, et al.
CIVIL MINUTES - GENERAL
Honorable Douglas F. McCormick, United States Magistrate Judge
Proceedings: (IN CHAMBERS) ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE RE DISMISSAL FOR LACK OF PROSECUTION
On June 7, 2022, the Court dismissed Plaintiffs Second Amended Complaint with leave to amend. See Dkt. 21. Plaintiff was instructed to elect one of the following options within thirty-five (35) days: voluntarily dismiss the case without prejudice, stand on the complaint, or file an amended complaint. See id. at 18. Plaintiff was told that failure to act could result in a recommendation of dismissal for failure to prosecute. See id. at 19.
Two months have passed, and Plaintiff has not filed anything. It is Plaintiffs responsibility to move this case toward completion. Accordingly, Plaintiff is ordered to show cause within twenty-one (21) days as to why this action should not be dismissed for lack of prosecution. The Court will consider Plaintiffs fifing of the Notice of Election form (attached to the dismissal Order) or an amended complaint as a satisfactory response. Failure to respond will result in a recommendation of dismissal.
