GARY PRICE THOMAS,

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

Plaintiff,
v.
SONOMA COUNTY, et al.,
Defendants.

/

14
15

Defendant’s motion to dismiss the complaint is scheduled for a hearing on May 17, 2013. The

16

Court previously granted plaintiff’s request for a continuance of the hearing to enable plaintiff time to

17

find a lawyer to represent him. Plaintiff has not filed an opposition to the motion, nor has plaintiff taken

18

any action in this case since the Court granted the continuance.

19

Accordingly, plaintiff is ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE in writing to be filed no later than May

20

24, 2013, why this case should not be dismissed without prejudice for failure to prosecute. See Fed. R.

21

Civ. Proc. 41(b). If plaintiff adequately responds to this Order and wishes to proceed with this lawsuit,

22

the Court will set a new briefing schedule and hearing date on defendant’s motion to dismiss. The May

23

17, 2013 hearing and case management conference are VACATED.

24

IT IS SO ORDERED.
