UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JULIE CAMPBELL,

Plaintiff,

v.

LANDCARE HOLDINGS, INC., et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 15-cv-05843-JD 

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

On February 1, 2016, the Court conditionally granted the motion to withdraw of plaintiff’s 

attorneys and stated that plaintiff “should notify the Court within 30 days if she intends to seek 

other counsel or proceed pro se.” Dkt. No. 14. Plaintiff has not filed any notification with the 

Court. On February 9, 2016, the Clerk entered default against Campbell on defendant’s 

counterclaims. Dkt. No. 16. On March 23, 2016, the Court held a case management conference in 

this matter. Dkt. No. 22. Plaintiff did not appear at the conference and did not ask to be excused 

from the hearing or to reschedule the date. Plaintiff’s failure to appear is unexcused and violates 

the Court’s standing order for civil cases. At the hearing, defendant advised the Court that 

Campbell has not served initial disclosures and did not participate in the filing of a case 

management statement despite several efforts to communicate with her. 

These failures concern the Court about plaintiff’s continued interest in prosecuting her 

case. Campbell is ordered to show cause, in writing, by April 8, 2016, in response to these 

questions:

(1) Whether she intends to continue with this action;

(2) If so, whether she will be proceeding pro se or has engaged counsel; and 

(3) Why the Court should not sanction her for her failure to appear at the case 

management conference in this matter.

failure to prosecute. If Campbell intends to proceed in the case pro se, she may wish to consult a
