Plaintiff filed this action on January 20, 2017. Dkt. No. 1. On August 26, 2019, the Court

13

granted in part and denied in part Plaintiff’s motion for default judgment. Dkt. No. 90. In its

14

order, the Court set a case management conference for September 3, 2019 “to discuss a plan for

15

the prompt resolution of this matter in its entirety.” Id. at 21. Plaintiff failed to appear at the

16

September 3, 2019 case management conference.
Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b) provides that where a “plaintiff fails to prosecute or

17
18

to comply with these rules or a court order, a defendant may move to dismiss the action or any

19

claim against it.” Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b). The Court may also sua sponte dismiss a case for lack of

20

prosecution. Link v. Wabash R. Co., 370 U.S. 626, 630-31 (1962). Accordingly, Plaintiff is

21

ordered TO SHOW CAUSE why the remaining claims in this case should not be dismissed for

22

failure to prosecute. Plaintiff must file a statement of no more than two pages by September 6,

23

2019.
