The Court possesses the inherent power to dismiss an action sua sponte “to achieve the
orderly and expeditious disposition of cases.” Link v. Wabash R.R. Co., 370 U.S. 626, 629-33
(1962). Accordingly, the Court ORDERS Plaintiff to show cause why this case should not be
dismissed for failure to prosecute and failure to comply with court deadlines. Plaintiff shall file a
declaration by March 20, 2025. Notice is hereby provided that failure to file a written response
will be deemed an admission that you do not intend to prosecute, and this case will likely be
dismissed. Thus, it is imperative the Court receive a written response by the deadline above.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
