NEW JERSEY'S RESTAURANT,
Defendant.

12

On March 14, 2017, the court issued an order setting a status conference for April 4, 2017.

13

Dkt. No. 8. The order setting a status conference indicated that no defendant had been served. Id.

14

On March 31, 2017, plaintiff filed a purported summons returned executed. Dkt. No. 9. The

15

plaintiff then failed to appear at the status conference on April 4, 2017. Dkt. No. 10. The plaintiff

16

did not file a request to continue or vacate the status conference, and the court did not

17

communicate that the status conference had been moved or taken off the calendar. As a result, the

18

court orders counsel for the plaintiff to appear on April 25, 2017, at 10:00 AM, in Courtroom 2,

19

Fifth Floor of the United States District Court, 280 South First Street, San Jose, California, and
