FAILURE TO PROSECUTE THIS ACTION

On October 4, 2017, the parties filed a joint stipulation for an extension of thirty days for Ford
17
Motor Company to file a response to Plaintiff’s complaint, indicating the defendant’s response would
18
be due October 27, 2017. (Doc. 8 at 2) The Court granted the request (Doc. 9). but Ford has failed to
19
file the responsive pleading despite that it is now weeks past the deadline. Despite this, the plaintiff
20
has failed to seek entry of default. Thus, the Court ORDERS:

Within 10 days, the plaintiff SHALL show cause in writing why sanctions, up to an
including dismissal of this action, should not be imposed for his failure to prosecute this action.
