PROCEEDINGS (IN CHAMBERS):

Order to Show Cause Why Case Should
Not Be Dismissed under Rule 11

As discussed at length in the Court’s Report and Recommendation dated October 3, 2017,
the Court has reason to doubt whether Plaintiff drafted, reviewed, or signed the Second Amended
Complaint (“SAC”). See Dkt. 12 at 9-12. Given the discrepancies identified in the Report and
Recommendation, Plaintiff is hereby ORDERED to show cause why this case should not be
dismissed for violations of Rule 11 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. The Court therefore
ORDERS Plaintiff to appear before this Court at 10:00 a.m. on December 8, 2017, at 411 W.
4th St., Santa Ana, California, 92701, in Courtroom 6D on the sixth floor of the Ronald
Reagan Federal Courthouse. Plaintiff should be prepared to explain truthfully to the Court
whether he prepared the Complaint, First Amended Complaint (“FAC”), or SAC; whether he
reviewed the Complaint, FAC, or SAC before filing; whether he signed the Complaint, FAC, or
SAC; and why the Complaint, FAC, and SAC were mailed to the Court in envelopes with a return
address at San Quentin prison to be addressed to “Khalifah Saif’ullah.”
If Plaintiff would miss coursework at school because of the above order, Plaintiff should
call the Court’s Deputy Clerk at [phone] to arrange an alternative time to appear. Plaintiff
is expressly warned that his failure to appear as ordered herein may result in his Second
Amended Complaint being dismissed for the reasons stated above and for failure to
prosecute.
