Proceedings (In Chambers): Order to Show Cause
On August 7, 2017, plaintiffs Frederick Terence Harvey, Michael Caccavari and Bridgette
Garcia filed a Civil Rights Complaint against the City of Beaumont and members of the Beaumont
Police Department. Only plaintiff Harvey signed the Complaint and submitted a Request to Proceed
In Forma Pauperis. On August 18, 2017, the Court dismissed plaintiffs’ complaint with leave to
amend for the reasons that plaintiffs’ allegations appear insufficient to state any claim on which
relief may be granted and the Complaint was not signed by all plaintiffs. Plaintiffs were granted
until September 18, 2017 in which to file a First Amended Complaint, signed by all plaintiffs, and
Caccavari’s and Garcia’s request to proceed in forma pauperis. As of the date of this order, a First
Amended Complaint has not been filed.
Plaintiffs shall show cause on or before October 14, 2017, why this action should not be
dismissed due to plaintiffs’ failure to prosecute. The filing of a First Amended Complaint on or
before October 14, 2017 shall discharge the order to show cause. Plaintiffs are hereby cautioned
that failing to comply with this Order and/or to show cause will result in the recommendation
that this action be dismissed for failure to prosecute.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
