summary judgment within 28 days of receipt of defendant’s answer, no later than August 4,

this court issued a comprehensive order explaining the nature of the summary judgment

20

and file his motion, the case would be dismissed for failure to prosecute. Plaintiff failed to

respond to that order.

GOOD CAUSE APPEARING, this case is hereby dismissed with prejudice for failure
to prosecute pursuant to Rule 41(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.
