HOWARD DIXON, Plaintiff, v. SAN FRANCISCO POLICE DEPARTMENT, Defendants.


ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

On October 25, 2011, Plaintiff Howard Dixon filed the above-captioned complaint, as well as an application to proceed in forma pauperis. On October 31, 2011, the Court ordered Plaintiff to either consent or decline magistrate jurisdiction by November 15, 2011. (Dkt. No. 4.) Because Plaintiff failed to comply with this deadline, the Court again ordered Plaintiff to consent or decline, with a new deadline of November 28, 2011. (Dkt. No. 6.) Plaintiff failed to respond.

Based on Plaintiff's inaction, the Court hereby ORDERS Plaintiff Howard Dixon to show cause why this case should not be dismissed for failure to prosecute and failure to comply with court deadlines. Plaintiff shall file a declaration by December 8, 2011. If Plaintiff files a responsive declaration, the Court shall either issue an order based on the declaration or conduct a hearing on December 22, 2011 at 10:00 a.m. in Courtroom B, 15th Floor, 450 Golden Gate Avenue, San Francisco, California. If Plaintiff fails to file a responsive pleading, Plaintiff is hereby informed that the Court may dismiss the case without a hearing. Thus, it is imperative that Plaintiff file a written response by the deadline above.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
