IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

GEORGE MARCUS,

Plaintiff,

v.

CITY OF RICHMOND, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 16-cv-02871-MMC 

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE WHY 

ACTION SHOULD NOT BE DISMISSED

On September 2, 2016, Peter Bonis, counsel for plaintiff, failed to appear as 

ordered at a regularly scheduled case management conference in the above-titled action. 

Counsel for defendant appeared.

The above-referenced failure to appear is not the first instance of plaintiff's or his 

counsel's failure to comply with the Court's orders. On August 15, 2016, the Court 

ordered plaintiff to "immediately submit" a chambers copy of the First Amended 

Complaint. Thereafter, on August 24, 2016, no such document having been submitted, 

the Court issued an order directing plaintiff to show cause in writing, no later than August 

31, 2016, why sanctions should not be imposed for plaintiff's failure to comply with the 

Court's August 15 order. To date, no response to the Court's August 31 order has been 

filed, nor has a chambers copy of the operative pleading been submitted.

Accordingly, plaintiff is hereby ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE in writing, no later 

than September 14, 2016, why the above-titled action should not be dismissed, pursuant
