/
On July 2, 2012, the Court issued an Order Granting Bursor & Fisher, P.A. and Bramson,

12

Plutzik, Mahler & Birkhaeuser, LLP’s Motions to Withdraw as Defense Counsel.1 In that Order, the

13

Court also directed Defendants to file Notices of Identification of Substitute Counsel or Self-

14

Representation on or before July 17, 2012. (Id. at 2.) To date, neither Defendant has filed a Notice

15

of Identification.

16

In light of Defendants’ failure to comply with the Court’s July 2 Order, the Court finds good

17

cause to set a hearing to determine whether the Answer should be stricken and default entered in

18

favor of Plaintiff.2 Accordingly, on August 6, 2012 at 9 a.m., Defendants shall appear in

19

Courtroom 9, 19th Floor, 450 Golden Gate Avenue, San Francisco, CA to show cause, if any, by

20

actual appearance in Court and by certification filed with the Court on or before July 27, 2012, why

21

the Answer to Plaintiff’s Complaint should not be stricken and default entered against Defendants.
