1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 9 FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 10 11 BRENDA LLOYD, Case No. 2:20-cv-01727-JDP (SS) 12 Plaintiff, ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE WHY THIS CASE SHOULD NOT BE DISMISSED FOR 13 v. FAILURE TO PROSECUTE 14 COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL RESPONSE DUE WITHIN 14 DAYS SECURITY, 15 Defendant. 16
17 18 On June 3, 2021, the court issued a scheduling order requiring plaintiff to file a motion for 19 summary judgment within 45 days of the service of the administrative record. ECF No. 16. 20 Plaintiff has not filed a motion. Accordingly, the court will order plaintiff to show cause why this 21 case should not be dismissed for failure to prosecute. 22 To manage its docket effectively, the court imposes deadlines on litigants and requires 23 litigants to meet those deadlines. The court may dismiss a case for plaintiff’s failure to prosecute 24 or failure to comply with a court order. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b); Hells Canyon Pres. Council v. 25 U.S. Forest Serv., 403 F.3d 683, 689 (9th Cir. 2005). Involuntary dismissal is a harsh penalty, but 26 a district court has a duty to administer justice expeditiously and avoid needless burden for the 27 parties. See Pagtalunan v. Galaza, 291 F.3d 639, 642 (9th Cir. 2002); Fed. R. Civ. P. 1. The 28 court will give plaintiff a chance to explain why the court should not dismiss the case for 1 | plaintiffs failure to prosecute.

If plaintiff wishes to prosecute this case, a motion for summary judgment must also be 7 filed within 14 days. 8 9 IT IS SO ORDERED. 10 ( 1 Ow — Dated: _ March 11, 2022 11 JEREMY D.
