Proceedings (In Chambers): Order Regarding Plaintiff’s Failure to Reply to Court’s Order to Show Cause (ECF No. 15)

On June 22, 2021, the Court issued an Order to Show Cause Why the Lawsuit Should Not Be Stayed Pursuant to Younger Abstention. (“OSC-1,” ECF No. 15.) The Court ordered Plaintiff Anna Neal Negrete (“Plaintiff”) to show cause by July 22, 2021 why the Court should not recommend that this lawsuit be stayed based on the abstention doctrine set forth in Younger v. Harris,

(1971). (Id. at 4.) The Court specified that Plaintiff could comply with OSC-1 by filing a written response containing one of the following: (1) an admission that this lawsuit is barred by the Younger abstention doctrine; or (2) a response arguing why this lawsuit is not subject to Younger abstention. (Id.) OSC-1 warned Plaintiff that failure to comply would result in a recommendation that the lawsuit be dismissed for failure to prosecute and/or comply with court orders. (Id.)

To date, Plaintiff has not filed a response to OSC-1. Plaintiff is ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE by September 6, 2021 why the Court should not recommend that the lawsuit be dismissed for failure to comply with a Court order. If Plaintiff files a response to OSC-1 on or before that date, this second Order to Show Cause will be discharged, and no additional action need be taken.

Plaintiff is advised that failure to comply with this order will result in a recommendation that the lawsuit be dismissed without prejudice for failure to prosecute and/or comply with court orders. See C.D. Cal. L.R. 41-1.

It is so ordered.
