(PC) Springfield v. CDCR ( 2023 )

1 c 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 9 FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 10 11 CIRON B. SPRINGFIELD, Case No. 2:23-cv-00594-JDP (PC) 12 Plaintiff, 13 v. ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE 14 CDCR, et al., ECF No. 7 15 Defendants. 16 17 On September 20, 2023, I screened plaintiff’s complaint and notified him that only some 18 of his claims were cognizable. ECF No. 7. I granted him thirty days to file either an amended 19 complaint or an advisement indicating his intent to proceed only with the identified cognizable 20 claims. To date, plaintiff has not filed a response to the September 20, 2023 order. 21 To manage its docket effectively, the court requires litigants to meet certain deadlines. 22 The court may impose sanctions, including dismissing a case, for failure to comply with its orders 23 or local rules. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b); E.D. Cal. L.R. 110; Hells Canyon Pres. Council v. U.S. 24 Forest Serv., 403 F.3d 683, 689 (9th Cir. 2005); Carey v. King, 856 F.2d 1439, 1440-41 (9th Cir. 25 1988). Involuntary dismissal is a harsh penalty, but a district court has a duty to administer 26 justice expeditiously and avoid needless burden for the parties. See Pagtalunan v. Galaza, 291 27 F.3d 639, 642 (9th Cir. 2002); Fed. R. Civ. P. 1. 28 Plaintiff will be given a chance to explain why the court should not dismiss the case for 1 | his failure to file either an amended complaint or advisement of his intent to proceed on the 2 | identified cognizable claims. Plaintiffs failure to respond to this order will constitute a failure to 3 | comply with a court order and will result in a recommendation that this action be dismissed. 4 | Accordingly, plaintiff is ordered to show cause within twenty-one days why this case should not 5 | be dismissed for failure to prosecute and failure to comply with court orders. Should plaintiff 6 | wish to continue with this lawsuit, he shall file, within twenty-one days, an amended complaint or 7 | advisement of his intent to proceed on the identified cognizable claims. 8 9 IT IS SO ORDERED. 10 ( 1 Ow — Dated: _ November 16, 2023 Q_———— 11 JEREMY D.
