Plaintiff Isabel Tubach (“Plaintiff”) is a prisoner in the custody of the California

19

Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (“CDCR”). Plaintiff is proceeding pro se and in

20

forma pauperis in this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff filed the

21

Complaint in this action on March 1, 2013. Doc. 1.

22
23

In the Complaint, Plaintiff appears to allege that she is being harassed and physically and
sexually harassed. The complaint fails to state specific factual details and the dates of all of the

24
occurrences of which Plaintiff complains. The majority of the allegations are legal conclusions
25
26
27
28

rather than detailed factual allegations.
On January 9, 2014, the Court ordered Plaintiff to submit within thirty (30) days a more
definite statement of facts so that the Court could screen the Complaint in compliance with 28
1

1

U.S.C. § 1915A. Doc. 7. The order warned Plaintiff that failure to comply as directed might

2

result in the dismissal of this action under Rule 41(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure

3

without further notice. Although more than thirty days have passed, Plaintiff has neither provided

4
a more definite statement of facts, requested an extension of time to comply, nor responded to the
5
6
7

Court’s order in any other way.
The Court has discretion to impose any and all sanctions authorized by statute or Rule or

8

within the inherent power of the Court, including dismissal of an action, based on Plaintiff’s

9

failure to comply with a court order. Fed. R. Civ. P. 11; Local Rule 110.

10
11

Accordingly, the Court HEREBY ORDERS that:
1. Within fifteen (15) days from the date of service of this order, Plaintiff shall file a

12
written response to the Court, showing cause why this case should not be dismissed

13

for Plaintiff's failure to obey the Court’s order of January 9, 2014; and

14
15

2. Plaintiff's failure to comply with this order will result in the dismissal of this action

16

without further notice.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
