UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

WENDY PINON-GUTIERREZ, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

CALIFORNIA HIGHWAY PATROL, et 

al., 

Defendant. 

No. 2:15-cv-00343-KJM-AC 

ORDER 

 In an order filed by the court on August 24, 2015, a status conference was set for 

November 12, 2015, and the parties were instructed to file a joint status report at least seven (7) 

days prior to the conference. The parties filed their joint status report on October 2, 2015, but 

there was no appearance by plaintiff’s counsel Mr. Benjamin A. Williams at the November 12, 

2015 conference. 

 Plaintiff’s counsel, in an email sent to the courtroom deputy on November 13, 

2015, indicated he forgot to calendar the new date of the pretrial scheduling conference, and was 

ill at the time of the conference. While a failure to remember does not generally provide good 

cause, Mr. Williams’ prompt response to his failure to appear and the tenor of his response 

persuade the court that the order to show cause it issued from the bench should be discharged. 

 IT IS SO ORDERED. 

DATED: November 30, 2015.
