ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE
Re: Dkt. No. 7

COREY PATRICK ROBINSON,
Defendant.

11

United States District Court
Northern District of California

Case No. 4:20-cv-06239-KAW

12
13

On September 3, 2020, Plaintiff filed this civil action and an application to proceed in

14

forma pauperis. On October 13, 2020, the Court granted Plaintiff’s application to proceed in

15

forma pauperis. Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2), the Court then screened Plaintiff’s complaint

16

and found it deficient, finding that Plaintiff had failed to “clearly provide the legal and factual

17

basis for all claims.” (Dkt. No. 7 at 4.) The Court ordered Plaintiff to file an amended complaint

18

that provided the legal and factual basis for all claims by November 2, 2020. Id. The Court

19

warned that the failure to do so would result in the case being reassigned to a district judge with

20

the recommendation that the case be dismissed. Id. To date, Plaintiff has not filed an amended

21

complaint.

22

Accordingly, the Court ORDERS Plaintiff to show cause, by December 7, 2020, why the

23

case should not be dismissed for failure to prosecute, and why she did not timely file the amended

24

complaint. Additionally, Plaintiff shall file the amended complaint. Failure to respond to the order

25

to show cause and file the second amended complaint by the deadline will result in the Court

26

reassigning the case to a district judge with the recommendation that the case be dismissed.

assistance—a free service for pro se litigants—by calling [phone] to make an appointment.

Plaintiff may also wish to consult the manual the court has adopted to assist pro se litigants in

2

presenting their case. This manual, and other free information for pro se litigants, is available

online at: http://cand.uscourts.gov/proselitigants.
