Case No. 1:15-cv-00252--- SKO

ORDER RESETTING CASE 

MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE TO 

AUGUST 27, 2015

ORDER THAT PLAINTIFF SHOW 

CAUSE WHY SANCTIONS SHOULD 

NOT BE IMPOSED

Plaintiff Sarah Costello (“Plaintiff”) filed this case in February of 2015 against Edmund G. 

Brown, Jr., Governor of the State of California, Will Lightbourne, Director of the California 

Department of Social Services, Rhonda Sjostrom, Human Resources Director of the Tulare 

County Health and Human Services Agency, Tulare County Superior Court, Alicia Zayas, 

Evangeline Siongco, Karen Whited, and Mandi Lewis (collectively “Defendants”). A case 

management conference (“CMC”) was set for April 23, 2015. (Docs. 1; 6.) Because no proof of 

service was filed and no Defendant had yet answered the complaint, the Court continued the CMC 

twice. (Docs. 7; 8.)

After consolidating the CMC with the scheduling conference and resetting both 

conferences to July 30, 2015, in its May 13, 2015 minute order, the Court ordered Plaintiff to file

proofs of service on or before July 1, 2015. Plaintiff has failed to do. (Doc. 8.) Because Plaintiff 

did not file any proofs of service, the Court has no information regarding whether the Defendants 

have been served. Defendants have not responded to the Complaint. (See Docket.)

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. The case management conference previously set for July 30, 2015, is RESET to 

August 27, 2015, at 9:45 a.m. in Courtroom 7;

2. By no later than August 13, 2015, Plaintiff shall file a statement showing cause

why sanctions should not be imposed for failing to comply with the Court’s May 

13, 2015 minute order.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
