IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

KAREN TRAVENIA,

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-06-2498 MCE GGH PS

vs.

WOODLAND CITY, et al., ORDER

Defendants.

 /

On May 14, 2007, plaintiff filed a First Amended Complaint, which she served

upon defendant on May 11, 2007. Defendant has not filed an amended answer nor proof of

serving an amended answer upon plaintiff, despite the requirement of Fed. R. Civ. P. 15(a) that

the response to an amended pleading be filed within 10 days after service.

This is not the first time defendant has failed to meet its obligations in this action. 

On March 6, 2007, this court issued an order to show cause why sanctions should not be imposed

for the parties’ failure to meet and confer and file a joint status report. Defendant did not

respond. The court nonetheless discharged the order to show cause and issued a scheduling order

based only upon plaintiff’s separate status report. 

Accordingly, defendant is HEREBY ORDERED to show cause in writing, on or

before Monday, June 25, 2007, why entry of default should not be made. Defendant shall also

file, by the same deadline, a Proposed Amended Answer, which this court will construe as an

Amended Answer provided the order to show cause is discharged. Additionally, as a

consequence of requiring, unnecessarily, the repeated attention of this court on matters that

should proceed without court intervention, defendant shall be precluded from filing in this action

any motion to dismiss prior to answering.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
