UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

SCOTT JOHNSON, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

SALEEM A. KHAN, et al., 

Defendants. 

No. 2:14-cv-1823-TLN-EFB 

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE 

 On April 8, 2015, plaintiff filed a Joint Statement re Discovery Disagreement. ECF No. 

15. Since plaintiff failed to notice the matter for hearing as required by Local Rule 251, the court 

ordered the matter set for hearing on May 6, 2015. At the hearing attorney Amanda Lockhart 

appeared on behalf of plaintiff; defendants failed to appear. 

 Local Rule 230(i) provides that “[a]bsent notice of intent to submit the matter on the 

briefs, failure to appear [at the hearing] may be deemed withdrawal of the motion or of opposition 

to the motion, in the discretion of the Court, or may result in the imposition of sanctions.” Failure 

to comply with the court’s Local Rules or the orders of this court “may be grounds for imposition 

by the Court of any and all sanctions authorized by statute or Rule or within the inherent power of 

the Court.” E.D. Cal. L.R. 110. Therefore, defendants are ordered to show cause why sanctions 

should not be imposed for their failure to appear at the May 6, 2015 hearing.
