ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE RE: PLAINTIFF’S
FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH COURT’S
STANDING ORDER IN CIVIL CASES
Re: Dkt. No. 95

United States District Court
Northern District of California

12

Counsel for plaintiff ACF 2006 Corp. (“ACF”) are hereby ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE

13

why they should not be sanctioned in the amount of $250.00 for failing to comply with this

14

Court’s Standing Order in Civil Cases (“Standing Order”) regarding Pre-filing Conferences for

15

Motions for Summary Judgment.

16

The Court’s Standing Order states at Section 9(a): “[N]o motion for summary judgment

17

pursuant to Rule 56 of the Rules of Civil Procedure may be filed without prior leave of Court.

18

The moving party must file a letter, with a copy to Chambers and the opposing parties, to request a

19

pre-filing conference, and propose a date and time for such conference.”

20

ACF filed a motion for summary judgment on July 16, 2018 without first filing a pre-filing

21

conference letter and thus failed to comply with the Court’s Standing Order. (Dkt. No. 95.)1

While the Court indicated at the hearing held on April 24, 2018 that it would entertain an
expedited briefing schedule on a motion for summary judgment, it explicitly stated that the parties
were required to comply with the process outlined in the Court’s Standing Order.

1

ACF’s counsel must respond to this order to show cause, in a statement not to exceed two

2

(2) pages, by no later than Friday, July 27, 2018. If the Court is not satisfied with the response, it

3

will set the matter for hearing at a later date.2

IT IS SO ORDERED.
