Prior to the reassignment, plaintiff had failed to comply with Magistrate Judge James Larson's April 8, 2008 order to participate in the filing of a Joint Case Management Statement and, further, failed to attend the Case Management Conference scheduled for August 27, 2008. In light of such failures, Magistrate Judge Larson, by order filed August 28, 2008, ordered plaintiff to show cause, at a hearing to be conducted October 29, 2008, why her complaint should not be dismissed for failure to prosecute. The reassignment of the case to the undersigned does not serve to excuse the above-described failures nor does it otherwise relieve plaintiff of the obligation to show v.
