United States District Court
Northern District of California

By order filed April 1, 2015, this matter was scheduled for a case management
12
conference on July 2, 2015 at 2:00 p.m. The order also required the filing of a joint case
13
management statement by June 25, 2015. Counsel for defendants filed a case
14
management statement by the deadline and notified the court therein that plaintiff's
15
counsel had been unavailable to authorize the use of his electronic signature. Counsel
16
for defendant also appeared as ordered at the conference but no one appeared for
17
plaintiff. The conference went forward in light of the jointly prepared case management
18
statement and to the extent that there were disagreements as to scheduling and ADR,
19
defendants' requested dates and options were adopted by the court. Plaintiff's counsel
20
has provided no explanation for his failure to appear.
21
Accordingly, plaintiff's counsel is hereby ordered to show cause why he should not
22
be sanctioned for his failure to appear and participate in the initial case management
23
conference. A written response to this order shall be filed no later than July 10, 2015.
24
Upon review of the response, the court will determine if a hearing is necessary.
25
IT IS SO ORDERED.
