IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

TRUSTEES OF THE ILWU-PMA PENSION

PLAN,

Plaintiff,

 v.

LINDRA ANDERSON et al.,

Defendants. /

No. C 14-03694 JSW

ORDER VACATING ORDER TO

SHOW CAUSE

By Order dated February 2, 2015, this Court set a case management conference for

March 6, 2015. On March 6, 2015, the Court held the initial case management conference in

this matter. Counsel for Defendant Ira Anderson did not appear. On March 9, 2015, the Court

ordered Defendant to show cause why sanctions should not be imposed and default entered due

to counsel’s failure to appear. On March 13, 2015, counsel filed a response, explaining that her

case management system was destroyed in early 2015. Counsel further stated that, although she

believed she had two separate backup systems, one backup was found not to exist, and the other

was not accessible. Counsel explained that her office has been attempting to reconstruct the lost

data, but missed the March 6, 2015 case management conference.
