1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 9 FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 10 11 MICHAEL ALAN DEAN HILL Case No. 2:25-cv-0789-JDP (P) 12 Plaintiff, 13 v. ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE 14 DENNIS CEMO, 15 Defendant. 16 17 18 On March 18, 2025, I ordered plaintiff to submit within thirty days either the required 19 filing fee or a complete application for leave to proceed in forma pauperis. ECF No. 3. To date, 20 plaintiff has not complied with that order.1 21 To manage its docket effectively, the court requires litigants to meet certain deadlines. 22 The court may impose sanctions, including dismissal of a case, for failure to comply with court 23 orders or local rules. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b); E.D. Cal. L.R. 110; Hells Canyon Pres. Council 24 v. U.S. Forest Serv., 403 F.3d 683, 689 (9th Cir. 2005); Carey v. King, 856 F.2d 1439, 1440-41 25

1 On March 27, 2025, plaintiff filed a declaration directed at this action, as well as at five 26 other actions he has pending in the Eastern District. ECF No. 5. In this filing, plaintiff states that 27 the court is ignoring his complaints and requests for injunctive relief. However, it is plaintiff’s obligation to pay the filing fee or be granted in forma pauperis status before the court can 28 consider his complaint. 1 | (9th Cir. 1988). Involuntary dismissal is a harsh penalty, but a district court has a duty to 2 | administer justice expeditiously and avoid needless burden for the parties. See Pagtalunan v. 3 | Galaza, 291 F.3d 639, 642 (9th Cir. 2002); Fed. R. Civ. P. 1. 4 Plaintiff will be given a chance to explain why the court should not dismiss his case based 5 | on his failure to either pay the filing fee or submit a complete application for leave to proceed in 6 | forma pauperis. Plaintiffs failure to respond to this order will constitute another failure to 7 | comply with a court order and will result in a recommendation that this action be dismissed. 8 | Accordingly, plaintiff is ordered to show cause within twenty-one days why this case should not 9 | be dismissed for failure to pay the filing fee, failure to prosecute, and failure to comply with court 10 | orders. Should plaintiff wish to continue with this action, he must, within twenty-one days, either 11 || pay the required filing fee or submit a complete application for leave to proceed in forma 12 || pauperis. The Clerk of Court is directed to send to plaintiff the court’s form application for leave 13 | to proceed in forma pauperis. 14 1s IT IS SO ORDERED. 16 | q Sty — Dated: _ May 1, 2025 q——— 17 JEREMY D.
