M.A.R. et al. v. City of Los Angeles et al.
Present: HONORABLE FRED W. SLAUGHTER, UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
CIVIL MINUTES - GENERAL
PROCEEDINGS: (IN CHAMBERS) ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE RE JOINT STATUS REPORT OR NOTICE OF DISMISSAL
On November 21, 2024, the court issued a text entry noting that the parties failed to file a joint status report or request for dismissal by November 15, 2024. (Dkt. 207.) The court ordered the parties to either file a joint status report or request for dismissal by November 26, 2024. (Id.) As of the date of this Order, the parties have not submitted a joint status report, notice of dismissal or any other responsive filing. (See generally Dkt.) Therefore, the parties are ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE in writing by December 12, 2024, why this case should not be dismissed for failure to comply with court orders and prosecute this action.
The parties may discharge this Order to Show Cause by filing a joint status report regarding the status of the parties' settlement agreement or a notice of dismissal consistent with the court's November 21, 2024, Order. Failure to comply with the court's order will result in dismissal. See Fed.R.Civ.P. 41(b) ; Link v. Wabash R.R., 370 U.S. 626, 629 (1962) (“The authority of a federal trial court to dismiss a plaintiff's action with prejudice because of his failure to prosecute cannot seriously be doubted.”); Hells Canyon Pres. Council v. U.S. Forest Serv., 403 F.3d 693, 699 (9th Cir. 2005) (“[C]ourts may dismiss under Rule 41(b) sua sponte, at least under certain circumstances.”); Ash v. Cvetkov, 739 F.2d 493, 496 (9th Cir. 1984) (“It is within the inherent power of the court to sua sponte dismiss a case for lack of prosecution.”).
