18

August 24, 2016, at 11 a.m. before Magistrate Judge Sandra M. Snyder, to show cause why this case

19

should not be dismissed for failure to comply with the Court’s prior orders. Defendants were also

20

directed to appear telephonically. The Court did not request Plaintiff to appear in person based on

21

information from Defendants’ counsel, John A. Lavra, that he had receive two letters from Plaintiff

show cause thereto.1

“motion to intervene,” “motion for relief,” and “motion to designate Magistrate Judge Snyder.”

assess Plaintiff’s request.
