al., 

Defendants. 

No. 2:11-CV-01112-KJM-EFB

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE 

On June 4, 2014, the court issued an order directing plaintiff to engage new 

counsel of record within thirty days. ECF No. 65. Plaintiff failed to comply with the court’s 

order. 

On July 10, 2014, the court issued an order to show cause directing plaintiff to 

show cause, through counsel, within fourteen days why it failed to comply with the court’s 

previous order and why sanctions should not be imposed. ECF No. 67. The court cautioned that 

potential sanctions could include monetary penalties and preclusion from opposing any re-noticed 

motions. Id. The order to show cause was mailed to plaintiff in South Korea on July 16, 2014. 

In the interim, on July 11, 2014, defendant noticed its amended petition to confirm 

arbitration award and its motion for attorneys’ fees. ECF Nos. 68, 69. The hearing on these 

matters is scheduled for August 22, 2014. Id.

Plaintiff has not responded to the court’s July 10, 2014 order to show cause or 

otherwise appeared in this action since the filing of plaintiff’s counsel’s motion to withdraw as 

counsel of record. See ECF No. 62. In light of the delay in mailing of the initial order to show 

cause and plaintiff’s location in South Korea, the court will provide plaintiff one final opportunity 

to respond to the order to show cause. 

Accordingly, within fourteen days from the date of this order, plaintiff, through 

counsel, shall show cause why the court should not preclude plaintiff from opposing defendant’s 

petition to confirm arbitration award and motion for attorneys’ fees and impose monetary 

sanctions. Plaintiff is cautioned that failure to respond to this order to show cause will result in 

sanctions at the court’s discretion and may include, without limitation, those discussed herein and 

dismissal under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b) for failure to prosecute. 

 IT IS SO ORDERED. 

Dated: August 7, 2014.
