Case No. 1:09-cv-00177 AWI DLB PC
ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE WHY
SANCTIONS SHOULD NOT BE IMPOSED
FOR DEFENDANTS’ FAILURE TO COMPLY
WITH COURT ORDER
(Document 129)
TEN-DAY DEADLINE

16
Plaintiff Joshua J. Cantu (“Plaintiff”) is a former California state prisoner proceeding pro se

17
18

in this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983.
On February 27, 2015, the Court ordered Defendants to respond to Plaintiff’s February 25,

19
20

2015, motion to extend the dispositive motion deadline. The Court requested a response (1) because

21

Plaintiff’s motion indicated that he had not yet received discovery responses from Defendant

22

Baptiste (ordered by the Court on November 14, 2014); and (2) because of the the procedural

23

posture of this action and the length of time it has been pending. A response was due within ten

24

days.

25

At this time, discovery has closed. The dispositive motion deadline has passed without the

26

filing of any dispositive motions and, more importantly, without Defendants’ required response to

27

Plaintiff’s pending motion.

28

1

Accordingly, Defendants are ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE, if any, why sanctions should

2

not be imposed for failure to respond to the Court’s February 27, 2015, order. Sanctions may

3

include striking Defendants’ answers and entering default.

4

A response to this order must be filed within ten (10) days.
