IN RE LINDA SUE CATRON,
Case No. 15-cv-2926-YGR
Appellant.
ORDER REGARDING APPELLANT’S FAILURE
TO FILE OPENING BRIEF; DIRECTING
APPELLANT TO SHOW CONTINUED INTENT
TO PROSECUTE

United States District Court
Northern District of California

12
Pursuant to this Court’s order granting Appellant’s fourth request for an extension of time
13
(Dkt. No. 24), Appellant was granted until January 15, 2016 to file her opening brief. As of the
14
date of this Order, Appellant has not filed her opening brief. As a result, the Court is considering
15
dismissing her appeal for “failure to prosecute,” that is, a failure to meet deadlines and keep the
16
lawsuit moving forward.
17
In light of the stay of briefing in Plaintiff’s other pending action (Case No. 15-cv-5733-
18
YGR) and the potential for confusion regarding her obligation to file an opening brief in the
19
instant action, the Court hereby extends Appellant’s time to file her papers for a final time. No
20
later than February 23, 2016, Appellant shall file either: (a) her opening brief; or (b) a one-page
21
statement setting forth an explanation for her failure to comply. If Appellant does not file by this
22
deadline, the Court may dismiss this action for failure to prosecute. Fed. R. Civ. P. 41.
