Case No. 4:11CV1389 RWS

MEMORANDUM AND ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE
On October 24, 2011, I set this case for a scheduling conference. My October 24, 2011
Order Setting Rule 16 Conference required the parties to participate in the preparation of, and
submit, a joint proposed scheduling plan for the disposition of this case. That Order also
required the parties to personally appear before me for the conference. Defendant did not appear
for the scheduling conference, nor did he participate in the preparation of the joint proposed
scheduling plan. Defendant is not excused from these requirements merely because he is
proceeding pro se. In fact, I previously warned defendant in my September 23, 2011 Order that
he was “required to comply with all local and Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.” He is also
required to comply with my Orders, and he has failed to do so.
Accordingly,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that defendant shall show cause in writing by December
15, 2011, why entry of default and default judgment should not be entered against him for
his failure to comply with my October 24, 2011 Memorandum and Order, to participate in
the preparation of the joint proposed scheduling plan, and to appear for the December 1,
2011 scheduling conference. No extensions of time will be granted. If plaintiff fails to

comply with this Order, entry of default and default judgment will be entered against
plaintiff without further notice by this Court.
