Case No. 15-cv-03959-JD

At 1:30 p.m. on Wednesday, December 16, 2015, the Court called this case for a case
management conference. Counsel for appellee did not appear.
This absence was unexcused and counsel made no request to be excused or continue the

16

hearing date. No other attorney appearing at the conference had been requested to specially

17

appear on her or her client’s behalf. This failure to appear violates the Court’s standing order for

18

civil cases.

19

Appellee’s counsel Cathrine Castaldi is ordered to show cause in writing why the Court

20

should not impose monetary sanctions pursuant to its inherent powers for her failure to appear at a

21

case management conference in this matter. Ms. Castaldi’s response to this order is due by 12:00

22

p.m. on Tuesday, December 22, 2015. She is also required to show this Order to her client and

23

confirm to the Court that she did.
