Case No.: 1:16-cv-00283 DAD JLT
ORDER TO KERN COUNTY CULTIVATION,
INC., TO SHOW CAUSE WHY SANCTIONS
SHOULD NOT BE IMPOSED FOR ITS FAILURE
TO APPEAR THROUGH COUNSEL

16
On May 10, 2017, the Court granted the motion of counsel to withdraw from the representation

17
18

of Gabriel Gallardo Sr., Manuel Gallardo, Silvia Gallardo and Kern County Cultivation, Inc. in this

19

action. (Doc. 60) At that time, the Court required Kern County Cultivation, Inc. to retain a new

20

attorney because a corporation may not appear without counsel. (Doc. 60 at 6) Nevertheless, this has

21

not occurred. Therefore, the Court ORDERS,
1.

22

No later than July 14, 2017, the Kern County Cultivation, Inc. SHALL show cause

23

why sanctions, up to and including the Court striking its answer and entering default against it, should

24

not be imposed for its failure to appear in this action through counsel and for its failure to complu with

25

the Court orders. Alternatively, within this same deadline, substitute counsel for Kern County

26

Cultivation, Inc. may appear in the action.
