On January 12, 2021, this matter was referred to the undersigned in accordance with Local

19

Rule 302(c)(21) and 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). (ECF No. 83.) On January 14, 2021, the court issued

20

an order setting this matter for a Status (Pretrial Scheduling) Conference before the undersigned

21

on February 26, 2021. (ECF No. 84.) Pursuant to that order, plaintiff was to file a status report

22

on or before February 12, 2021. Plaintiff, however, has failed to file the required status report.

23

The failure of a party to comply with any order of the court “may be grounds for

imposition by the Court of any and all sanctions authorized by statute or Rule or within the

25

inherent power of the Court.” Local Rule 110. Any individual representing himself or herself

26

without an attorney is bound by the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the Local Rules, and all

27

applicable law. Local Rule 183(a). Failure to comply with applicable rules and law may be

28

grounds for dismissal or any other sanction appropriate under the Local Rules. Id.

In light of plaintiff’s pro se status, and in the interests of justice, the court will provide

plaintiff with an opportunity to show good cause for plaintiff’s conduct along with a final

3

opportunity to file the required status report.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

5

1. Plaintiff show cause in writing within fourteen days of the date of this order for failure

to comply with the January 14, 2021 order;
