The Judge’s review of the docket in this action indicated

that the Clerk’s default judgment against Cross-Defendant City of

Mount Shasta on Cross-Complainant Pennbrook Homes’ cross-complaint

should not have entered because Pennbrook Homes appeared not to have 

properly served the City of Mount Shasta.

On September 14, 2007, Pennbrook Homes and the City of Mount

Shasta filed a Stipulation to Set Aside Default Judgment on CrossComplaint, in which they seek a court order directing “the Clerk of

the Court [to] vacate the entry of default and default judgment

heretofore entered in this matter by Pennbrook Homes against the City

of Mt. Shasta.” Accordingly, the entry of default and default

judgment previously entered against Cross-Defendant City of Mount

Shasta in this action are vacated. 

Further, Pennbrook Homes and its counsel are ordered to

show cause (“OSC”) in a writing to be filed no later than 2:00 p.m. on

September 24, 2007 why sanctions pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil

Procedure 16(f) and/or the Court’s inherent sanction authority should

not be imposed for misleading the court, in a declaration and a status

report filed in this action, by suggesting that Cross-Defendant City

of Mount Shasta had been properly served and therefore had the

obligation to respond to service of process and failed to do so. If a

hearing is requested on the OSC, that request is to be stated in the

response. 

The status conference scheduled for September 17, 2007 is

rescheduled for hearing to commence at 10:00 a.m. on October 29, 2007.

If the OSC is heard, that hearing will occur at the time the status

conference is scheduled to commence.

The Clerk of the Court shall serve John Sullivan Kenny
