CASE MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE

vs.

COUNTY OF SAN FRANCISCO; and DOES

Defendants.

The parties are ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE why they should not be sanctioned for failure to

19

timely file a Joint Case Management Statement. A Case Management Conference is scheduled for

20

June 10, 2013 and the parties have failed to file a joint statement that satisfies the applicable rules

21

and the Court’s instructions at the previous Case Management Conference.

22

“Unless otherwise ordered, no fewer than 7 days before any subsequent case management

23

conference, the parties must file a Joint Case Management Statement, reporting progress or changes

24

since the last statement was filed and making proposals for the remainder of the case development

25

process.” Civil L.R. 16-10(d) (emphasis added). In addition, the Court’s Standing Order in Civil

26

Cases at Section 6 requires that “[u]pdated joint case management statements . . . be filed seven days

27

in advance of all other case management conferences.”

28

The Joint Status Report filed on April 26, 2013 (Dkt. No. 91) does not satisfy the parties’

1
2

obligations. Specifically, the parties must update the Court regarding the currently-anticipated

3

amount of time needed for discovery and propose a schedule for the class certification motion.
A hearing on this Order to Show Cause will be held on Monday, June 24, 2013 at 2:00 p.m.,

4
5

in the Federal Courthouse, 1301 Clay Street, Oakland, California, in Courtroom 5. The Case

6

Management Conference scheduled for June 10, 2013 is hereby CONTINUED to June 24, 2013 at 2:00

7

p.m.

By no later than June 17, 2013, the parties must file either (1) a joint case management
statement, which includes a statement that they have reviewed the Local Rules with respect to their
responsibilities; or (2) a written response to this Order to Show Cause why they should not be

11

United States District Court
Northern District of California

10

sanctioned for their failure to timely file a joint case management statement. If the Court is satisfied

12

with the parties’ response, the parties need not appear and the hearing will be taken off calendar.

13

Otherwise, lead trial counsel must personally appear at the hearing. Neither a special appearance

14

nor a telephonic appearance will be permitted. Failure to file a joint statement, written response or

15

to appear personally will be deemed an admission that no good cause exists and that the imposition

16

of monetary sanctions is appropriate.

17

IT IS SO ORDERED.
