DOROTHY C. GIESEKE, et al.,

Plaintiffs,

v.

BANK OF AMERICA, N.A., et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 13-cv-04772-JST 

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE; ORDER 

CONTINUING CASE MANAGEMENT 

CONFERENCE

The Case Management Conference currently scheduled for August 24, 2016 is continued 

to October 5, 2016 at 2:00 p.m. An updated Joint Case Management Statement must be filed by 

September 26, 2016. 

If the Plaintiff has not already filed an amended complaint by stipulation by September 26, 

2016, Defendants should state what grounds they anticipate having for opposing Plaintiff’s 

intended motion to amend his complaint. See ECF No. 49 at 4; See also, e.g., Slavkov v. Fast 

Water Heater Partners I, LP, No. 14-CV-04324-JST, 2015 WL 5071933, at *2 (N.D. Cal. Aug. 27, 

2015) (the court considers five factors in deciding a motion for leave to amend: “bad faith, undue 

delay, prejudice to the opposing party, futility of amendment, and whether the plaintiff has 

previously amended his complaint.”). 

Separately, the Court notes that it issued an Order Setting Initial Case Management 

Conference and ADR Deadlines on October 15, 2013. ECF No. 3. In pertinent part, that order 

required the parties to take the following actions by December 25, 2013: “meet and confer re: 

initial disclosures, early settlement, ADR process selection, and discovery plan”; “file ADR 

Certification signed by Parties and Counsel”; and “file either Stipulation to ADR Process or 

Notice of Need for ADR Phone Conference.” Id. at 1. The parties did not take either of the last

two required actions at any time before a Notice of Appeal was filed on August 27, 2014. 

Therefore, the parties are hereby ordered to comply with the foregoing ADR requirements 

by September 2, 2016. If they do not do so, they are ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE why 

sanctions should not be imposed for their failure. A hearing on this Order to Show Cause will be 

set for October 5, 2016 at 2:00 p.m. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
