Case No.: 12-CV-02128-LHK
ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

On September 10, 2012, two days before the September 12, 2012 Case Management
Conference, the parties filled a Supplemental Joint Report of Early Meeting of Counsel. ECF No.
27. In that statement, Plaintiffs’ counsel represented that “on August 28, 2012, Plaintiffs indicated
to Nick Pacheco Law Group they no longer desired their services and no longer wanted to continue
with litigation.” Plaintiffs’ counsel further indicated that they had requested confirmation in
writing that Plaintiffs no longer wished to proceed, but had been unable to obtain that confirmation.
At the September 12, 2012 Case Management Conference, Plaintiffs’ counsel represented that
since August 28, 2012, Plaintiffs had not responded to Plaintiffs’ counsel’s voicemails or certified
letter.
