UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

Tom Tang,

Plaintiff,

v.

CCL Group Inc, et al.,

Defendants.

________________________________/

No. C 06-7912 JL

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

Plaintiff’s motion to compel production of documents and motion for monetary

sanctions came on for hearing on January 23, 2008. A case management conference had

also been scheduled. Adam Wang appeared for Plaintiff. There was no appearance for

Defendants. The Court received no notice from Defendants’ counsel, Ronald Galasi,

requesting a continuance, or that he would be unable to appear. Neither did Galasi respond

to any of Plaintiff’s moving papers on either motion.

Accordingly, Defendants’ counsel Ronald Galasi is hereby ordered to show cause

why the motions should not be granted, along with additional monetary sanctions for his

failure to appear at the hearing on the 23rd, or that further sanctions should not be

imposed. This is the second non-appearance by Defendants’ counsel in this case. On

December 12, 2007, this Court conducted a case management conference. Adam Wang

appeared for Plaintiff Tom Tang. Arthur Liu appeared specially for Defendants, but was not

prepared to participate in the case management conference, which was then continued to

January 16, 2008, and then to January 23, to give Defendants’ counsel additional time to

respond. If counsel continues to fail to appear, or to cooperate in discovery, the Court will

impose sanctions, as provided by Rule 37, which, after repeated failures, may lead to a

default judgment against his client. Counsel shall appear before this Court on February 6,

2008 at 9:30 a.m. and show cause why such sanctions should not be imposed.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

DATED: January 23, 2008
