On October 20, 2014, plaintiffs Trotter and Perez sought an extension of time to file a Second Amended
Complaint, as required by the Court’s Order dismissing the First Amended Complaint with leave to amend. The
Court granted that request, and the Second Amended Complaint was due no later than December 5, 2014. When
they failed to timely file a Second Amended Complaint, the Court issued a order to show cause why this action
should not be dismissed for failure to prosecute and follow court orders. On December 15, 2014, plaintiffs
Trotter and Perez filed another request for an extension of time, this time so they can retain an attorney to handle
their case. Plaintiffs’ request for additional time was granted, but only until January 6, 2015, as that was the
fifth request for additional time to amend the pleadings in this action, and indicated that plaintiffs do not intend
to diligently prosecute this action. As of the date of this Order, plaintiffs have not filed a Second Amended
Complaint.
Accordingly, plaintiffs are ordered to show cause, no later than January 21, 2015, why this action should not
be dismissed for failure to prosecute and follow court orders. The filing of a Second Amended Complaint on
or before January 21, 2015, shall be deemed compliance with this order to show cause. Plaintiffs are advised
that the failure to comply with this Order will result in a recommendation that this action be dismissed.
