Defendants.

On May 4, 2016, the undersigned issued an order to show cause (“OSC”) in this matter

19

based on the parties’ failure to timely file a joint status report in response to the April 1, 2016

20

order setting this matter for a status (pretrial scheduling) conference. (ECF No. 19.) That order

21

directed both plaintiffs and defendant City of Rancho Cordova to show cause in writing by June

22

2, 2016, why they should not be sanctioned for their failure to file a joint status report and

23

directed them to file a status report by no later than June 23, 2016. (Id.) Defendant was also

24

directed to indicate in its response whether it has been in contact with plaintiffs in the time since

25

their counsel withdrew from this matter and whether it possessed plaintiffs’ updated contact

26

information. (Id.)

Later on May 4, 2016, defendant filed a response to the OSC. (ECF No. 21.) Therein,
defendant represents that it failed to timely file a joint status report in response to the April 1,
1

1

2016 order because it was unable to contact plaintiffs to meet and confer regarding the

2

preparation of such a joint report. (Id. at 2.) It also represents that it has been unable to contact

3

plaintiffs in the time since their counsel withdrew and does not have any updated contact

4

information for plaintiffs. (Id.) As part of its response, defendant includes a status report

5

addressing the topics set forth in the court’s April 1, 2016 order. (Id. at 3-4.) Based on

6

defendant’s representations contained in this filing, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the May 4,

7

2016 order to show cause (ECF No. 19) is DISCHARGED to the extent it is directed at defendant

8

City of Rancho Cordova.
