v.

TAYLOR MERRILL, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 18-cv-05531-SK 

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

By order dated February 8, 2019, the Court continued the case management conference in 

this matter for March 4, 2019 at 1:30 p.m. The Court’s Standing Order requires that all parties 

appear through lead counsel. Jack Silver, lead counsel for Plaintiff California River Watch, 

without leave of Court or notice to any of the parties, failed to appear at the case management 

conference held on March 4, 2019, in violation of this Court’s orders and Northern District Civil 

Local Rule 16-10(c). No attorney appeared for Plaintiff. Accordingly, the Court HEREBY issues 

an ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE (“OSC”) why monetary sanctions in the amount of $500 should 

not be imposed on counsel and why this case should not be dismissed for failure to prosecute 

pursuant to Rule 41(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.

Mr. Silver shall respond in writing by no later than March 11, 2019 as to why such 

sanctions should not be imposed. Counsel is also admonished that, in his absence, the Court set 

dates at the case management conference to which he is bound. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: March 4, 2019
