UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA OAKLAND DIVISION ALFONSO MIRA and CARLA MIRA, individuals, Plaintiffs, vs. Case No: C 10-1724 SBA ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE RE DISMISSAL

14 AMERICAN HOME MORTGAGE SERVICING, INC., and DOES 1 through 10, 15 inclusive, 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28

Defendants.

Plaintiffs Alfonso and Carla Mira filed the instant mortgage fraud action in state court on March 5, 2010. On April 22, 2010, Defendant American Home Mortgage Servicing, Inc., removed the action to this Court, and filed a motion to dismiss on April 29, 2010. On May 3, 2010, the matter was reassigned to this Court, and the motion was scheduled for hearing on July 14, 2010. Under Civil Local Rule 7-3(a), any opposition or statement of non-opposition was due by June 23, 2010, which is twenty-one days prior to the hearing date. To date, no response to the motion to dismiss has been filed by Plaintiffs. The failure to comply with the filing deadlines set by the Local Rules is grounds for dismissing an action under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b) for failure to prosecute. Ghazali v. Moran, 46 F.3d 52, 54 (9th Cir. 1995). Accordingly,

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT within seven (7) days of the date this Order is filed, Plaintiffs shall file a Certificate of Counsel to show cause why this case should not be dismissed
for lack of prosecution under Rule 41(b). The Certificate shall set forth the nature of the cause, its present status, the reason it has not been brought to trial or otherwise terminated, any basis for opposing dismissal, and the expected course of the case if it is not dismissed. FAILURE TO FULLY COMPLY WITH THIS ORDER WILL BE DEEMED SUFFICIENT GROUNDS UPON WHICH TO DISMISS THE ACTION. Defendants' motion to dismiss (Docket 6) shall be held in abeyance pending Plaintiffs' submission of the Certificate of Counsel.

IT IS SO ORDERED. Dated: June 28, 2010 _______________________________ SAUNDRA BROWN ARMSTRONG United States District Judge
