Opinion
NO. CIV. S-06-656 LKK/KJM.
February 8, 2010
ORDER
This case was previously stayed and administratively closed pending binding arbitration. Plaintiff contends that her prior counsel agreed to this without her knowledge or permission. See Dkt. No. 10.
On October 15, 2009, the court lifted the stay, reopened the case, and granted plaintiff sixty days to retain alternate counsel. The court stated that after sixty days, defendant would be free to bring any motions it deemed necessary seeking dismissal of this action. That time has expired, and neither party has filed any further documents in this case.
It appears that plaintiff has abandoned this case. Where a plaintiff fails to prosecute a case, the court may dismiss the case pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b). Plaintiff is therefore ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE in writing within thirty days why this case should not be dismissed.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
