CONTINUANCE OF ORDER TO

CHARLES BOYLE, et al.,

No. C 12-3559 RS

____________________________________/

Pro se plaintiff Peter Clark was ordered to show cause why this action should not be

19

dismissed without prejudice for failure to prosecute. In response, Clark listed health, financial, and

20

other difficulties he has encountered, and explained that he continues to seek counsel to represent

21

him. Clark requested additional time.

22

This case, originally filed in 2012, has yet to progress to service of the complaint, and it

23

cannot be delayed indefinitely without causing potential prejudice to any defendants that may

24

eventually be called on to respond to the action. Accordingly, while one further continuance will be

25

granted, Clark shall file a declaration no later than June 6, 2014, not to exceed 15 pages, showing

26

cause, if any, why this action should not be dismissed without prejudice for failure to prosecute. If

27

no filing is made, the action will be dismissed without further notice.
