UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
CENTRAL DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

TC REINER,
Plaintiff,

CASE NO. CV 18-243 DSF (JPRx)
v.

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE RE
DISMISSAL

ROBERT ERINGER, et al.,
Defendants.

This action was filed in January 2018. Trial was originally set for
May 6, 2019. In accordance with the Court’s Trial Order, the parties
submitted pretrial documents in mid-April 2019. Based on certain
occurrences reflected in the record, the trial date was continued.
Effective August 13, 2019, Plaintiff’s counsel’s motion to withdraw was
granted and Plaintiff began representing himself. On December 27,
2019, the Court ordered the parties to attend a settlement conference
and to propose a date for a pretrial conference and trial. On February
19, 2020, no dates having been proposed, the Court again ordered the
parties to propose dates for the pretrial conference and trial. In the
meantime, a settlement conference was held but the matter did not
settle. On June 3, 2020, no dates having been proposed, the Court
again ordered the parties to propose dates for the pretrial conference
and trial – this time setting a deadline of June 15, 2020. Again, the
parties have failed to comply with the Court’s Orders.
The Court now sets an Order to Show Cause re Dismissal for failure
to prosecute this action. To discharge this Order to Show Cause,
Plaintiff should submit, no later than July 30, 2020, jointly proposed
dates for a pretrial conference and trial. The pretrial conference date

must be on a Tuesday that is not a holiday at 3:00 p.m. The trial date
must be on a Monday that is not a holiday approximately three or four
weeks after the pretrial conference at 8:30 a.m. If the parties cannot
agree on dates, Plaintiff is to submit both parties’ proposed dates. As it
is Plaintiff’s responsibility to prosecute this case, failure of Plaintiff to
submit a proposed schedule will result in dismissal of the case with
prejudice.
IT IS SO ORDERED.

Date: July 20, 2020
