ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE RE

DISMISSAL OF CERTAIN

DEFENDANTS

On February 11, 2005, defendant City of Oakland filed a Notice of Removal, thereby

removing the above-captioned action to this Court. Also on February 11, 2005, this Court scheduled

the initial Case Management Conference to take place on June 15, 2005. 

On May 27, 2005, Plaintiffs filed a Motion for Entry of Default as to defendants Brookfield

Homeowners Association and Wiley Williams. On May 31, 2005, the Clerk of Court declined to

enter default. 

On June 6, 2005, Plaintiffs and the City of Oakland filed a Joint Case Management

Conference Statement.

On June 7, 2005, Plaintiffs filed a renewed Motion for Entry of Default as to defendants

Brookfield Homeowners Association and Wiley Williams. On June 8, 2005, the Clerk of Court

entered default against Brookfield Homeowners Association and Wiley Williams. However, after

default was entered, Plaintiffs never filed a motion for default judgment. Accordingly, Brookfield

Homeowners Association and Wiley Williams remain in the case.

On June 15, 2005, the Court held a Case Management Conference. On July 29, 2005, the

Court issued its Order for Pretrial Preparation ("Pretrial Order"). Pursuant to the Pretrial Order, this

case is scheduled to proceed to trial on June 26, 2006. 

Since the Pretrial Order was filed on July 29, 2005, there has been no further activity in this

case, however, with the exception of the fact that Plaintiffs' counsel filed a Notice of Change of

Address on September 6, 2005. Further, defendants Ronald Abad, David Carrillo, Richard Fielding,

James Fisher, Dave Kozicki, Isaac Wilson, Isagani Pugao, Arlene M. Rosen, and Calvin Wong have

not yet appeared in the action, and Plaintiffs have not filed any proofs of service with the Court

showing that the aforementioned defendants were timely served pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil

Procedure 4. 

Accordingly,

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT:

(1) Plaintiffs shall appear in Courtroom 3 of the United States Courthouse, 1301 Clay

Street, Oakland, California, on February 23, 2006, at 4:00 p.m. to show cause why this case should

not be dismissed as to defendants Ronald Abad, David Carrillo, Richard Fielding, James Fisher,

Dave Kozicki, Isaac Wilson, Isagani Pugao, Arlene M. Rosen, Calvin Wong, Brookfield

Homeowners Association, and Wiley Williams for lack of prosecution and/or why sanction should

not issue.

(2) At least ten (10) days prior to the date specified for the court appearance, Plaintiffs or

Plaintiffs' counsel of record must file a Certificate of Counsel with the Clerk of the Court to explain

why the case should or should not be dismissed as to defendants Ronald Abad, David Carrillo,

Richard Fielding, James Fisher, Dave Kozicki, Isaac Wilson, Isagani Pugao, Arlene M. Rosen, and

Calvin Wong and why sanctions should or should not be imposed for lack of prosecution. The

Certificate shall set forth the nature of the case, its present status, the reason why defendants Ronald

Abad, David Carrillo, Richard Fielding, James Fisher, Dave Kozicki, Isaac Wilson, Isagani Pugao,

Arlene M. Rosen, and Calvin Wong have not been served, the reason why Plaintiffs have not timely

moved for default judgment against defendants Brookfield Homeowners Association and Wiley

Williams, any basis for opposition to dismissal by any party, and the expected course of this action

(3) Please take notice that this Order requires both the specified court appearance and the

filing of the Certificate of Counsel. FAILURE TO FULLY COMPLY WITH THIS ORDER WILL

DEFENDANTS SPECIFICALLY REFERENCED HEREIN.
