UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JAGJEEVAN K. DHALIWAL, an Individual and 

MOHINDER S. GILL, an Individual, 

Plaintiffs,

vs.

KS CHANDI & SONS, INC., a California 

Corporation, and CHANDI BROTHERS, LLC, a

California Limited Liability Corporation, 

Defendants.

Case No.: 1:13-CV-00484

ORDER STRIKING PLAINTIFFS’ 

UNILATERAL PRETRIAL 

STATEMENT (DOC. 101) AND 

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE WHY 

THIS CASE SHOULD NOT BE 

DISMISSED FOR FAILURE TO 

PROSECUTE

This case is set for trial on October 15, 2014. Doc. 38. A pretrial conference is set for 

August 27, 2014. Id. Pursuant to Local Rule 281(a) and the Scheduling order in this case, not less 

than seven (7) days prior to the pretrial conference, the parties “shall file a joint pretrial statement” 

in the form prescribed by Local Rule 281(b). See id.(emphasis added). On August 20, 2014, 

Plaintiffs filed a unilateral pretrial statement. Doc. 101. Later than day, Defendants likewise filed a 

unilateral pretrial statement, indicating that they had been “left with no choice” but to do so because 

Plaintiffs’ counsel unilaterally filed a pretrial statement after abandoning the meet and confer 

process.” Doc. 102 at 1. 

Assuming the representations made by Defense counsel to be true, this Court STRIKES 

Plaintiffs’ unilateral pretrial statement, Doc. 101, and ORDERS PLAINTIFFS TO SHOW CAUSE 

in writing on or before 3:00 p.m. August 22, 2014 why this case should not be dismissed for failure 

to prosecute in light of Plaintiffs’ failure to abide by the local rules and the scheduling order. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: August 21, 2014 /s/ Lawrence J. O’Neill
