On July 25, 2017, the Court held a case management conference, at which Plaintiff John

14

Doe failed to appear. (Dkt. No. 46.) At the conference, Defendants informed the Court that

15

Plaintiff failed to attend his deposition on July 21, 2017, despite the Court's July 7, 2017 order

16

requiring Plaintiff's attendance.1 (Dkt. No. 43 at 1.)
Accordingly, Plaintiff is ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE, in writing, by no later than

17
18

August 11, 2017, why the case should not be dismissed for failure to prosecute. In the alternative,

19

as Plaintiff has indicated to both the Court and Defendants that he intends to dismiss the case,

20

Plaintiff may file a voluntary dismissal of the suit on or before August 4, 2017 to avoid dismissal

21

and/or the imposition of sanctions. If Plaintiff files a voluntary dismissal, he need not also

22

respond to the order to show cause.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
