UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JOEL RICHARDSON,

Case No. 24-cv-00209-RFL

Plaintiff,
ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

v.
TESLA INC., et al.,
Defendants.

A joint case management statement was due in this action on May 29, 2024, and a case
management conference was scheduled for June 5, 2024, at 10:00 a.m. (Dkt. No. 26.) On May
29, Defendants filed a case management statement and corresponding declaration. (Dkt. No. 27.)
Defendants’ counsel represented that Plaintiff prepared a draft case management statement on
May 8 and that, despite at least two attempts, they have since been unable to reach Plaintiff’s
counsel. (Dkt. No. 27-1.) Without leave of Court or notice to any of the parties, Plaintiff’s
counsel also failed to appear at the case management conference on June 5 in violation of the
Court’s Standing Order and Civil Local Rule 16-10(a). Accordingly, Plaintiff is ORDERED
TO SHOW CAUSE, in writing, by June 12, 2024, explaining (1) why Plaintiff did not submit a
joint case management statement, (2) why Plaintiff’s counsel was absent from the case
management conference, and (3) why this case should not be dismissed for failure to prosecute.
Failure to comply with this order may result in the dismissal of this action without further
notice. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b).
IT IS SO ORDERED.
Dated: June 5, 2024

United States District Judge
