On February 23, 2009, the court entered an order requiring Plaintiff to file a Certificate of Interested Parties in compliance with Local Rule 7.1-1 on or before March 6, 2009. The order warned Plaintiff that his failure to comply "may result in the issuance of an order to show cause why sanctions, including a recommendation to the District Judge that this case be dismissed, should not be issued." Id. Plaintiff failed to file his Certificate of Interested Parties and did not request an extension of time in which to comply with the court's Order (Dkt. #6). On March 23, 2009, the court entered an Order to Show Cause (Dkt. #8) based on Plaintiff's failure to comply with the court's previous Order (Dkt. #6). The court directed Plaintiff to show cause in writing no later than April 6, 2009 why he had not complied with the court's Order (Dkt. #6). The Order to Show Cause (Dkt. #8) advised Plaintiff that "[f]ailing to comply with the Local Rules of Practice, the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, and the court's orders may result in sanctions, up to and including case-dispositive sanctions." Plaintiff has failed to file a response to the Order to Show Cause (Dkt. #8), and he has not requested an extension of time in which to do so. Plaintiff's willful failure to comply with the court's Orders is an abusive litigation practice that has interfered with the court's JAMES ALLEN CLARK, ) ) Plaintiff, ) ) vs. ) ) CIRCUS CIRCUS HOTEL & CASINO, et al., ) ) Defendants. ) __________________________________________) UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT DISTRICT OF NEVADA

ability to hear this case, delayed litigation, disrupted the court's timely management of its docket, wasted judicial resources, and threatened the integrity of the court's orders and the orderly administration of justice. The Certificate of Interested Parties is required for the court to assess whether a conflict of interest exists which requires the assigned judge(s) to disqualify himself or herself. Sanctions less drastic than dismissal are unavailable because Plaintiff has wilfully refused to comply with multiple court Orders and the Local Rules of Practice. Accordingly, IT IS RECOMMENDED that Plaintiff's Complaint be DISMISSED unless Plaintiff files the Certificate of Interested Parties no later than April 27, 2009. Dated this 15th day of April, 2009.
