ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

JOSE LUIS JUAREZ, et al.,

Defendant(s).
___________________________________/

15

On December 16, 2010, counsel for both parties were advised that a case

16

management conference (“CMC”) would be held on March 31, 2011. On March 28, 2011,

17

the court granted plaintiff’s motion to continue the CMC until April 28, 2011. On April 26,

18

2011, the court granted plaintiff’s second request for a continuance and the CMC was

19

continued to May 26, 2011. On May 26, 2011, plaintiff appeared at the CMC, but neither

20

defendants nor their counsel of record appeared. Plaintiff’s counsel represented that

21

defendants had expressed their intention of terminating their counsel and of filing for

22

bankruptcy and that he had no way of contacting defendants directly. As the court similarly

23

has no address for defendants, this order may only be e-filed on the docket with notice to

24

counsel of record, who has not withdrawn or been substituted out of the case.

25

Accordingly, the court issues this ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE why sanctions should

26

not be imposed on either or both defendants and their counsel for failing to appear as

27

ordered at the case management conference. Defendants are further advised that

28

sanctions may take the form of entry of their default.

1

A hearing on the ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE will be held on June 30, 2011 at 2:00

2

p.m. Defendants must appear in person or through counsel or risk the sanctions described

3

above.
