Plaintiff,

MARIA ELENA NOGUERA DE 

ESPARZA,

Defendant.

Case No. 14-cv-05130-JD 

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

In an order dated December 12, 2014, the Court set a case management conference in this 

matter for February 18, 2015, at 1:30 p.m. Case Management Scheduling Order, Dkt. No. 11. 

The Court’s Standing Order for Civil Cases, which was specifically referred to in the December 12 

order, requires that “each party shall be represented at the case management conference by lead 

counsel” and also advises parties that “[f]ailure of lead counsel to appear may result in sanctions.”

On February 18, 2015, the Court held the initial case management conference as 

scheduled. Lead plaintiff’s counsel, Mr. Thomas P. Riley, did not appear. Mr. Riley neither 

requested nor was granted leave not to appear. 

Accordingly, Mr. Riley is hereby ordered to show cause in writing as to why the Court 

should not impose monetary sanctions for his failure to adhere to this Court’s standing order. The 

response to this order is due by 5:00 p.m. on Wednesday, February 25, 2015. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: February 18, 2015
