Disposition notice
On October 29, 2026, Judge Sherilyn Peace Garnett of the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California issued an order to show cause in Toan Duc Vu v. USCIS, No. 2:24-cv-01588-SPG-MBK, directing the plaintiff to explain in writing by November 12, 2026, why the case should not be dismissed for lack of prosecution. Citing Link v. Wabash R. Co., 370 U.S. 626 (1962), the court noted its inherent power to dismiss for lack of prosecution on its own motion and stated that the docket reflects the plaintiff is not actively pursuing the matter. The plaintiff may satisfy the order by filing a status report of no more than four pages describing the current state of the litigation; the matter will stand submitted upon the filing of the response under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 78, and failure to respond will be deemed consent to dismissal.
