Defendants.
The Comt issued an Order (#32) to Show Cause on August 1, 2013, setting a Show
Cause hearing for August 16, 2013, at 9:30a.m. On August 2, 2013, the Comt mailed a copy of
this Order to Show Cause to Plaintiff at her last known address.
On August 16,2013, Plaintiff failed to comply with this Comt's Order requiring her to
appear at the Show Cause hearing.
Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41 (b), this Court may dismiss an action for
failure to prosecute or failure to comply with a court order. See Malone v. United States Postal
Serv., 833 F.2d 128, 130 (9th Cir. 1987). When determining whether to dismiss an action for one
of these reasons, the Court must weigh five factors: "'(I) the public's interest in expeditious
resolution of litigation; (2) the Court's need to manage its docket; (3) the risk of prejudice to the
defendants; (4) the public policy favoring disposition of cases on their merits; and (5) the
availability of less drastic sanctions."' Id (quoting Thompson v. Housing Authority, 782 F.2d
829, 831 (9th Cir.) (per curiam).
The Comt hereby DISMISSES this matter without prejudice for failure to prosecute.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
DATED this 19'' day of August, 2013.
