(IN CHAMBERS) ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

The Court is in receipt of plaintiff’s motion for an order compelling initial
disclosures, or in the alternative, for an order excluding non-disclosed witnesses and
documents, and seeking Rule 37 sanctions, filed September 25, 2018. (Docket No. 20.)
Plaintiff asserts that defendants, Margaret M. Harris Corporation and Reseda Dental Office
of Aram Yeliazyan and Aram Arakelyan, Inc., have failed to produce their initial
disclosures, despite a letter to defendants’ attorney requesting defendants either to comply
with their discovery obligations or to meet and confer regarding the missing disclosures.
In light of plaintiff’s showing, defendants, Margaret M. Harris Corporation and
Reseda Dental Office of Aram Yeliazyan and Aram Arakelyan, Inc., are ORDERED TO
SHOW CAUSE, in writing, on or before October 5, 2018, why their answer should not be
stricken and a default judgment entered for failure to comply with their discovery
obligations. Defendants may comply with the terms of this Order by either: 1) filing a proof
of service demonstrating that they served plaintiff with a copy of defendants’ initial
disclosures; or 2) filing a response detailing defendants’ objections to the entry of an Order
striking defendants’ answer and entering a default judgment against defendants.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
