UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ELI LILLY AND COMPANY,

Plaintiff,

v.

JOHN DEREK GITMED,

Defendants.

No. 1:16-cv-00178-DAD-SAB

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE REQUIRING 

CONFIRMATION OF ADDRESS

ORDER DIRECTING CLERK OF COURT TO 

SERVE THIS ORDER ON DEFENDANT

On September 26, 2016, defendant John Derek Gitmed filed a “motion of response” to the 

plaintiff Eli Lilly and Company’s complaint. (Doc. Nos. 35.) The court issued a minute order on 

October 11, 2016, noting that defendant’s filing would be construed as a motion to dismiss 

plaintiff’s complaint, and setting the motion for hearing on November 15, 2016. (Doc. No. 36.) 

That order was sent by mail to defendant Gitmed, but was returned to the court by the U.S. Postal 

Service as undeliverable. 

Defendant Gitmed is hereby ordered to confirm that the address listed below reflects his 

current mailing address:

2. The November 15, 2016, hearing on defendant’s motion to dismiss is vacated;
