UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

YOLANDA SMITH,

Plaintiff,

v.

DANIEL DEJONG, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 14-cv-00546-TEH 

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE AND 

ORDER VACATING TRIAL AND 

PRETRIAL DATES

The parties’ joint pretrial conference statement and jointly proposed jury 

instructions were due on October 16, 2015. Instead of these joint filings, the parties each 

filed their own separate statements, as well as their own separately proposed jury 

instructions. It appears from the parties’ filings that they simply did not prioritize this case 

enough to complete the meet-and-confer process in time to comply with this Court’s 

pretrial filing deadlines. Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the parties shall 

show cause on November 2, 2015, at 10:00 AM, as to why monetary sanctions should not 

be imposed for their failure to file a joint pretrial conference statement and jointly 

proposed jury instructions in compliance with the September 26, 2014 Order for Pretrial 

Preparation. Any written response shall be filed no later than October 28, 2015.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the trial date, pretrial conference date, and all 

deadlines calculated based on the trial date (except for the motion in limine filing deadline 

that has already passed) are hereby VACATED. The parties shall meet and confer on a 

new trial date and shall discuss their proposed dates with this Court’s courtroom deputy.

Once the parties agree on a date that is available on the Court’s calendar, the Court will 

issue an order setting the new trial date, a new pretrial conference date, and related 

deadlines. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
