Case No. 2:17-cv-00999-APG-NJK
ORDER

16

Pending before the Court is an order for Plaintiff to show cause why case-dispositive sanctions

17

should not be imposed for his failure to comply with the Court’s order to either indicate that he intends

18

to proceed pro se or file a notice of appearance by a new attorney. Docket No. 51. Plaintiff has not filed

19

a response in this case. Instead, Plaintiff filed two duplicate responses in another case, neither of which

20

makes any reference to this case. See Case No. 2:17-cv-00168-NJK, Docket Nos. 48, 49. While it

21

appears from that filing that Plaintiff intends to proceed pro se in this case, the Court declines to guess

22

as to Plaintiff’s intentions. Instead, Plaintiff must file such notice in this case to the extent he intends

23

to proceed pro se in this case. To that end, the Court will extend the deadline for Plaintiff to respond

24

to the order to show cause entered in this case and/or file a notice of intent to proceed pro se in this case

25

to January 18, 2018.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
