UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

RON CARTER, et al.,

Plaintiffs,

v.

XPO LOGISTICS, INC,

Defendant.

Case No. 16-cv-01231-WHO 

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

 Defendant has moved to dismiss the claims of six FLSA opt-in plaintiffs, given those 

plaintiffs’ failure to respond to discovery. Dkt. No. 143.1 

 These six non-responsive opt-in plaintiffs are Ordered to Show Cause why their FLSA 

claims should not be dismissed with prejudice and their state law claims dismissed without 

prejudice under Rule 37 for failure to participate in discovery. 

 The six opt-in plaintiffs at issue may discharge this OSC by serving the outstanding 

discovery on defendant on or before March 23, 2018. If any of these opt-in plaintiffs is unable to 

respond to the discovery but believes good cause exists to excuse that failure and to maintain their 

FLSA claims, plaintiffs’ counsel shall file a declaration from that plaintiff explaining his specific 

good cause. 

 If any of the six non-responsive opt-in plaintiffs fails to serve their discovery on defendant 

by March 23, 2018 and fails to establish good cause excusing that failure, their FLSA claims shall 

be dismissed with prejudice and their state law claims dismissed without prejudice. 

IT IS SO ORDERED. 

Dated: February 22, 2018 

William H. Orrick 

United States District Judge
