UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 6 DAVID LOVELL, Case No. 25-cv-05785-TSH

Plaintiff,

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

v.

STEFAN SCHWEITZER, et al., Defendants.

12 Plaintiff David Lovell initiated this lawsuit by filing a complaint (ECF No. 1) and application to proceed in forma pauperis (ECF No. 3). On October 10, 2025, the Court granted his application but found the complaint deficient under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e). ECF No. 6. The Court directed Plaintiff to file an amended complaint curing the deficiencies identified in the screening order, warning that the case could be dismissed if he failed to do so. Plaintiff has failed to respond. The Court possesses the inherent power to dismiss an action sua sponte “to achieve the 19 orderly and expeditious disposition of cases.” Link v. Wabash R.R. Co., 370 U.S. 626, 629-33 20 (1962). Accordingly, the Court ORDERS Plaintiff David Lovell to show cause why this case 21 should not be dismissed for failure to prosecute and failure to comply with court deadlines.…
