GRANCARE, LLC, Defendant. ORDER DIRECTING PLAINTIFF AND COUNSEL TO APPEAR AT CASE MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE AND ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE Re: Dkt. No. 16 12 13 The Court has received and considered the parties’ joint case management conference 14 statement. The Court has continued the initial case management conference on two prior 15 occasions. In its last Order, the Court expressly ordered as follows: 16 There shall be no further continuances of the initial case management conference. 17 Therefore, if this matter does not settle, and if Plaintiffs’ counsel can no longer represent him, 18 Plaintiff must file a notice by no later than June 1, 2016, in which he advises the Court 19 about: (1) whether he has obtained substitute; (2) whether he has been unable to obtain 20 additional counsel and seeks additional time to do so; or (3) whether he intends to proceed 21 pro se, i.e. without counsel. 22 Plaintiff did not comply with that Order. Plaintiff is hereby ORDERED TO SHOW 23 CAUSE why the Court should not impose sanctions in the amount of $250.00 for failure to 24 comply with the deadlines set in the Court’s Order. 25 Based on the parties’ joint case management statement, it is evident that there still are 26 issues with whether counsel will continue to represent Plaintiff. Accordingly, Plaintiff and his 27 current counsel shall appear at the case management conference scheduled for July 29, 2016, and 28 shall be prepared to address the questions set forth above.
