NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

CYNTHIA COTTER,

Plaintiff,

v.

JP MORGAN CHASE BANK, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 15-cv-01802-MEJ 

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

On April 28, 2015, the Court referred this foreclosure-related action to the ADR Unit for a 

telephone conference to assess the case’s suitability for mediation or a settlement conference. Dkt. 

No. 9. The parties were instructed to participate in a telephone conference by May 26, 2015, and 

be prepared to discuss prospects for loan modification and settlement. Although the ADR Unit 

scheduled a phone conference to take place on May 11, 2015 (Dkt. No. 10), Plaintiff Cynthia 

Cotter did not dial into the phone conference and has not otherwise contacted the ADR Unit. 

Further, although the Court directed the parties to consent or decline magistrate judge jurisdiction 

by May 7 (Dkt. No. 7), Plaintiff has failed to respond. In fact, Plaintiff has made no appearance in 

this case since it was removed from Alameda County Superior Court on April 21, 2015.

Accordingly, the Court hereby ORDERS Plaintiff Cynthia Cotter to show cause why this 

case should not be dismissed for failure to prosecute and failure to comply with court deadlines. 

Plaintiff shall file a declaration by May 21, 2015. If a responsive declaration is filed, the Court 

shall either issue an order based on the declaration or conduct a hearing on June 4, 2015 at 10:00 

a.m. in Courtroom B, 15th Floor, 450 Golden Gate Avenue, San Francisco, California. Notice is 

hereby provided to Plaintiff Cynthia Cotter that the Court may dismiss this case without a hearing 

if no responsive declaration is filed. Thus, it is imperative that the Court receive a written 

response by the deadline above.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: May 11, 2015 ______________________________________
