UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 6 WILLIAM-BULLOCK STEWART, Case No. 22-cv-04683-AMO

Plaintiff,

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

v. 9 Re: Dkt. No. 23 VA MEDICAL CENTER, et al., Defendants.

12 On August 15, 2022, pro se Plaintiff William-Bullock Stewart filed a Complaint in this District Court against Defendant VA Medical Center and some 87 individuals it employs. Dkt. 1. On May 22, 2023, Defendants filed a Motion to Dismiss the Complaint for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. Dkt. 23. Under Civil Local Rule 7-3, Plaintiff’s response to Defendants’ Motion was due by June 5, 2023. That deadline has passed, and Plaintiff still has not filed a response to Defendants’ Motion. Rule 41 accords a district court discretion to dismiss a plaintiff’s action because of his failure to prosecute, to comply with the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, or to comply with a court order. See, e.g., Hearns v. San Bernardino Police Dep’t, 530 F.3d 1124, 1129 (9th Cir. 2008); Ferdik v. Bonzelet, 963 F.2d 1258 (9th Cir. 1992)…
