ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

SAN MATEO-FOSTER CITY SCHOOL
DISTRICT,

United States District Court
Northern District of California

10

Defendant.

12
13

On April 2, 2018, a settlement conference in this matter was scheduled to take place on

14

June 11, 2018. Counsel for plaintiffs did not participate in a pre-settlement conference call on May

15

15, 2018, and has not made himself available despite numerous efforts by the Court to reach him.

16

Upon a representation by plaintiffs’ counsel that he is no longer able to represent his clients at this

17

time, he was ordered to file a motion to withdraw or for substitution of counsel by June 1, 2018.

18

Because that deadline has now passed and no such motion has been filed, plaintiffs are hereby

19

ordered to show cause why this case should not be dismissed for failure to prosecute and why

20

plaintiffs’ counsel should not be referred to this Court’s Standing Committee on Professional

21

Conduct. Plaintiffs’ response is due no later than July 16, 2018. Noncompliance with this order

22

will result in dismissal of this action and possibly additional disciplinary action.

23

IT IS SO ORDERED.
