Case No. 17-cv-03575-JSW (KAW)
ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

v.

Re: Dkt. No. 45
BENEFICIAL CALIFORNIA, INC., et al.,
Defendants.

13

On July 13, 2018, Defendants Beneficial California, Inc. and Beneficial Management

14

Corporation of America ("Beneficial" or "Defendants") filed a Motion for Judgment on the

15

Pleadings (Dkt. No. 45) ("MJOTP"). The Court ordered that responses to Defendants' MJOTP be

16

filed by July 27, 2018 and that replies be filed by August 3, 2018. Id. To date, Plaintiff Isiah Lewis

17

("Lewis" or "Plaintiff") has not filed an opposition.

18

Accordingly, by no later than August 17, 2018, the Court orders Plaintiff to: (1) file a

19

response to this order to show cause and explain why Defendants' MJOTP should not be granted

20

as unopposed, and (2) file an opposition, if warranted, to Defendants' MJOTP. The response to

21

this order to show cause and the opposition should be filed as separate documents. To aid in his

22

compliance with this order, Plaintiff may wish to contact the Federal Pro Bono Project’s Help

23

Desk—a free service for pro se litigants— by calling [phone] to make an appointment to

24

obtain legal assistance from a licensed attorney.

25

Failure to both timely respond to this order to show cause and file a timely opposition may

26

result in the motion being granted as unopposed. See Judge Westmore’s General Standing Order ¶

27

22 (“The failure of the opposing party to file a memorandum of points and authorities in

28

opposition to any motion shall constitute consent to the granting of the motion”).

Should Plaintiff timely file an opposition, Defendants are permitted to file their reply on or
before August 24, 2018.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
