CIVIL MINUTES—GENERAL

Case No. EDCV 18-2237-MWF (SHKx) Date: March 30, 2022 Title: Alice Rubio, et al. v. Orgain, Inc. Present: The Honorable MICHAEL W. FITZGERALD, U.S. District Judge Deputy Clerk: Court Reporter: Rita Sanchez Not Reported Attorneys Present for Plaintiff: Attorneys Present for Defendant: None Present None Present Proceedings (In Chambers): ORDER DISMISSING ACTION WITHOUT

PREJUDICE

On March 5, 2019, the Court granted Defendant Orgain, Inc.’s Motion to Dismiss. (Docket No. 41). In its Order, the Court granted Plaintiffs leave to amend and set a deadline of March 25, 2019 for Plaintiffs to file their Second Amended Complaint. (Id. at 8). As of March 29, 2022, Plaintiff has not filed a Second Amended Complaint, and Defendants have not requested dismissal of this action. It is well-established that a district court has authority to dismiss a plaintiff’s action due to her failure to prosecute and/or to comply with court orders. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b); Link v. Wabash Railroad Co., 370 U.S. 626, 629–30 (1962) (noting that district court’s authority to dismiss for lack of prosecution is necessary to prevent undue delays in the disposition of pending cases and avoid congestion in district court calendars); Ferdik v. Bonzelet, 963 F.2d 1258, 1260 (9th Cir. 1992) (stating that district court may dismiss action for failure to comply with any order of the court). Before ordering dismissal, the Court must consider five factors: (1) the public’s interest in expeditious resolution of litigation; (2) the Court’s need to manage its docket; (3) the risk of prejudice to Defendant; (4) the public policy favoring the disposition of cases on their merits; and (5) the availability of less drastic sanctions. See In re Eisen, 31 F.3d 1447, 1451 (9th Cir. 1994) (failure to prosecute); Ferdik, 963 F.2d at 1260–61 (failure to comply with court orders). ______________________________________________________________________________
