NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

JAMES MOORE, 

Plaintiff, 

vs. 

PFLUG PACKAGING & FULFILLMENT, INC., 

Defendant.

CASE NO. 17-cv-05823-YGR 

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE RE: MONETARY 

SANCTIONS

TO THE PARTIES AND COUNSEL OF RECORD: 

You are HEREBY ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE why each party should not be sanctioned in 

the amount of not less than $250.00 and not more than $500.00, for failure to comply with your 

professional obligations under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure with respect to discovery and 

resolving such disputes. The flurry of letters to the Court and inability to communicate on simple 

issues is unacceptable. (See, e.g., Dkt. Nos. 38, 39.) 

A hearing on this Order to Show Cause will be held on Friday, May 11, 2018 at 9:00 a.m.

in the Federal Courthouse, 1301 Clay Street, Oakland, California, in Courtroom 1.1

Each party’s attorney may file a written response to this Order to Show Cause by no later 

than 10:00 a.m. on Thursday, May 10, 2018, if he or she contests it, and must personally appear 

at the hearing. Neither a special appearance nor a telephonic appearance will be permitted. Given 

the current discovery dispute, the Court will determine whether the imposition of monetary 

sanctions is appropriate. Production of documents on the disputed scope of the subpoenas is

 In light of the parties’ updated joint discovery letter (Dkt. No. 38), the parties are no 

longer required to appear in person on Thursday, May 10, 2018 at 8:00 a.m.
