UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JOSE ESCOBEDO,

Plaintiff,

v.

MICHAEL MURRIETTA dba MIKE’S 

GRILL; GEORGE G. BADASCI,

Defendants.

No. 1:15-cv-01039-DAD-SKO

ORDER FOR DEFENDANT BADASCI TO 

SHOW CAUSE 

ORDER DIRECTING CLERK OF COURT TO 

SERVE THIS ORDER ON DEFENDANT 

On April 4, 2016, defense counsel moved to withdraw as attorney for both defendants, 

citing a conflict of interest that arose during settlement negotiations. (Doc. No. 31.) Following a 

hearing on May 3, 2016, the court issued an order on May 4, 2016 directing defendant Badasci to 

appear personally, not through counsel, at a further hearing scheduled for May 11, 2016. (Doc. 

No. 41.) That order was served by mail on both defendants. Nonetheless, defendant Badasci did 

not appear at the May 11 hearing. (Doc. No. 42.) On May 11, 2016, the court granted defense 

counsel’s motion to withdraw. (Doc. No. 42.)

Defendant Badasci is hereby ordered to show cause as to why he did not appear as ordered 

in the court’s written order of May 4, 2016. As he is no longer represented by counsel in this 

matter, defendant Badasci must respond to this order personally in writing within fourteen (14) 

days of service of this order and explain why he failed to appear at the hearing on May 11, 2016

as ordered by the court. 

The court also sets a hearing for Tuesday, May 31, 2016 at 10:00 A.M. in Courtroom 5, 

Robert E. Coyle Federal Building, 2500 Tulare Street, Fresno, California. In the event

defendant Badasci does not respond in writing within fourteen days of the service of this order 

showing good cause for his failure to appear at the May 11 hearing, he is ordered to appear 

personally on May 31 at 10:00 a.m. If defendant Badasci responds in writing and shows cause 

for his failure to appear, the hearing scheduled for May 31, 2016 will be vacated and he need not 

personally appear.

Defendant Badasci is forewarned, however, that should he fail to respond in writing and 

also fail to appear at the scheduled May 31, 2016 hearing, as required by this order, sanctions will 

likely be imposed against him, as it is within the inherent authority of the court to control its 

docket and require compliance with its orders. See Chambers v. NASCO, Inc., 501 U.S. 32, 42–

46 (1991).

The Clerk of Court is directed to serve this order on defendant Badasci, who is now 

proceeding pro se in this action, at the following address:

George B. Badasci

15520 Evergreen Road

Cottonwood, California 96022

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: May 11, 2016
