ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE RE: DISMISSAL OR SANCTIONS

1.
This is a pro se prisoner civil rights action. The Ninth Circuit remanded a
portion of the action to the district court for further proceedings. (Docket # 79, 80.)
2.
During the pendency of the appeal, the action was reassigned to
Magistrate Judge Wilner for further pretrial proceedings. (Docket # 4, 71.) Following the
remand, Judge Wilner ordered each of the parties to file a case management report by
mid-November 2022. (Docket # 97.) To date, however, neither side filed such a report.
3.
Plaintiff Huffman is an unrepresented litigant. Nevertheless, he is
required to follow the rules and orders of this Court like any other party. United States v.
Merrill, 746 F.2d 458, 465 (9th Cir. 1984) (pro se litigant “is subject to the same rules of
procedure and evidence” as other parties “who are represented by counsel”). Plaintiff is
ordered to show cause why this action should not be dismissed for failure to prosecute and
failure to comply with a court order. Fed. R. Civ. P. 41; Applied Underwriters, Inc. v.
Lichtenegger, 913 F.3d 884 (9th Cir. 2019).
4.
Defendant Sniff’s lawyers are ordered to show cause why they should not
be sanctioned for failing to file a required document. L.R. 83-7
5.
Each side may discharge the OSC by filing the required case management
report plus a declaration (not to exceed three pages) regarding the matter. These
submissions will be due by January 13.
