11 Plaintiff,
12 v. FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
13 CA FRANCHISE TAX BOARD, et al.,
14 Defendants.
15
16 Plaintiff, who paid the filing fee in this case, is proceeding pro se. The action was
17 accordingly referred to the undersigned for pretrial purposes by E.D. Cal. R. (“Local
18 Rule”) 302(c)(21). On October 22, 2019, the court issued an order notifying plaintiff that her
19 deadline to complete service of process on defendants had passed and requiring her to show cause
20 by November 4, 2019 why this case should not be dismissed for failure to prosecute. ECF No.
21 11. The court informed plaintiff that filing proof of service would discharge the order to show
22 cause, and cautioned her that failure to timely complete service or show good cause as to why
23 service has been delayed would result in a recommendation that this case be dismissed for failure
24 to prosecute. Id. On October 23, 2019, plaintiff filed a document that appears to be a letter sent
25 to her by the John Hancock Benefits Plan entitled “Important Notice from John Hancock About
26 Your Prescription Drug Coverage and Medicare.” ECF No. 12. This document is not responsive
27 to the court’s order to show cause, and there remains no indication that service has been
28 completed or will be completed.
1 Therefore, IT IS HEREBY RECOMMENDED that this action be dismissed, without
2 || prejudice, for lack of prosecution and for failure to comply with the court’s order. See Fed. R.
3 || Civ. P. 41(b); Local Rule 110.
4 These findings and recommendations are submitted to the United States District Judge
5 || assigned to this case, pursuant to the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(). Within twenty-one (21)
6 || days after being served with these findings and recommendations, plaintiff may file written
7 || objections with the court. Such document should be captioned “Objections to Magistrate □□□□□□
8 || Findings and Recommendations.” Local Rule 304(d). Plaintiff is advised that failure to file
9 | objections within the specified time may waive the right to appeal the District Court’s order.
