Regarding Docket No. 52

Case No. 20-cv-05408-SK
On August 26, 2019, Defendants filed a motion to dismiss. Pursuant to Northern District
13
of California Local Rule 7-3(a), Plaintiff’s response was due by September 9, 2020. To date,
14
Plaintiff has not filed an opposition brief. Accordingly, Plaintiff is HEREBY ORDERED TO
15
SHOW CAUSE in writing by no later than September 28, 2020 why the Court should not dismiss
16
his claims for lack of prosecution or grant Defendants’ motion as unopposed.
17
If Plaintiff seeks to file an untimely opposition brief, he must submit a request to do so
18
showing good cause for his failure to comply with the deadline required by the Local Rules, and
19
must submit the proposed opposition brief along with the request. If Plaintiff fails to file a
20
response to this Order to Show Cause by September 28, 2020, the Court will grant Defendants’
21
motion to dismiss as unopposed and/or dismiss Plaintiff’s claims for failure to prosecute without
22
further notice.

24
The Court VACATES the hearing on the motion to dismiss currently scheduled on October
5, 2020 and will reset it at a later date, if necessary.
25
The Court advises Plaintiff that the district court has produced a guide for pro se litigants
26
called Representing Yourself in Federal Court: A Handbook for Pro Se Litigants, which provides
27
instructions on how to proceed at every stage of your case, including discovery, motions, and trial.
28
It is available electronically online (http://cand.uscourts.gov/prosehandbook) or in hard copy free
1
of charge from the Clerk’s Office. The Court further advises Plaintiff that he also may wish to
2
seek assistance from the Legal Help Center. Plaintiff may call the Legal Help Center at 415-782-
3
8982 for a free appointment with an attorney who may be able to provide basic legal help, but not
