UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

GMYL, L.P.,

Plaintiff,

v.

PETER COPPOLA BEAUTY LLC, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 15-cv-03724-VC 

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE; ORDER 

SETTING CASE MANAGEMENT 

CONFERENCE

Peter Coppola and his attorney, Ronald E. D'Anna, are ordered to show cause why they

should not be sanctioned under 28 U.S.C. § 1927 and/or the Court's inherent authority. D'Anna 

has had actual knowledge of the proceedings against his client since at least October 29, 2015; 

nevertheless, he and his client failed to participate in this litigation until April 22, 2016. This has 

wasted a significant amount of time for the Court and for the plaintiff.

A hearing on the order to show cause will take place on June 23, 2016. Peter Coppola 

and Ronald D'Anna must both personally appear at this hearing. In addition, local counsel must 

appear at the hearing. If GMYL wishes to make any submission in support of sanctions for the 

conduct of Coppola and D'Anna, it must do so by May 18, 2016. A written response to the order 

to show cause, and to any submission by GMYL, is due June 2. 

On the date of the hearing, an in-person case management conference will take place as 

well. This means all parties must file a joint case management conference statement by June 16.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: May 6, 2016
