SANTA CLARA COUNTY, and others,

16

Case No. 17-cv-01749 LHK (NC)
ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE TO
PLAINTIFF AND PLAINTIFF’S
COUNSEL STANLEY GOFF

Defendants.

18

Upon referral from the trial judge, I held a settlement conference in this case on

19

September 22, 2017. At the conclusion of the conference, I ordered the attorneys for both

20

sides to provide a settlement status report by November 17. Defendants’ counsel

21

complied; plaintiff’s did not. I have since left two voicemail messages for plaintiff’s

22

counsel, Stanley Goff, seeking a status report. To date, he has not returned my messages.

23

It is therefore ORDERED that Mr. Goff appear in person on January 3, 2018, at

24

1:00 p.m. in San Jose courthouse, courtroom 7, to explain the settlement status of the case,

25

his failure to pursue the case, and his failure to communicate with the Court. Mr. Goff is

26

ordered to serve this order on his client and to file proof of service by December 22.

27

Plaintiff and his counsel are warned that failing to pursue the case could result in dismissal

28

of the case and an award of fees and costs against them.
