UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

VERONICA A. GONZALES,

Plaintiff, 

v. 

WELLS FARGO BANK, N.A., et al., 

Defendants. 

Case No. 14-cv-03850-JSW 

ORDER IMPOSING SANCTIONS 

Re: Docket No. 66 

On August 3, 2015, the Court issued an Order to Show Cause, directing Plaintiff’s counsel, 

Armine Singh, to show cause why she failed to comply with this Court’s rules requiring lead 

counsel to appear at the initial case management conference. The Court has received two 

declarations from Ms. Singh and a declaration from defendant’s counsel, Daska Babcock, in 

response to the Order to Show Cause. 

Taking Ms. Singh’s statements regarding the family emergency at face value, the Court 

notes that the necessity for the Order to Show Cause could have been mooted had Ms. Singh 

simply explained to her associate counsel, opposing counsel, and the Court prior to the case 

management conference that a family emergency would have prevented her from attending in 

person. The Court does not find Ms. Singh’s explanation sufficiently compelling to excuse her 

failure to comply with the Court’s Order. Accordingly, the Court HEREBY IMPOSES sanctions 

in the amount of $250.00, which shall be paid by no later than August 25, 2015, to the Clerk of the 

U.S. District Court.
