NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

CAROL FURTADO,

Plaintiff,

v.

UNITED RENTALS INC., ET AL.,

Defendants.

Case No. 14-cv-04258-YGR 

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE RE SANCTIONS

On January 26, 2015, the Court held a case management conference in the above-captioned 

case. Plaintiff’s counsel did not appear. In addition, plaintiff’s counsel did not file the required 

joint case management statement, and has to this point allegedly failed to comply with this Court’s 

protocol governing employment cases despite an earlier order to show cause relating to the same. 

(Dkt. No. 19.) 

Accordingly, plaintiff is hereby ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE why sanctions, including 

potentially terminating sanctions, should not issue. A hearing on this Order to Show Cause shall 

be held on February 13, 2015 on the Court’s 9:01 a.m. calendar, in the United States Courthouse, 

1301 Clay Street, Oakland, California, in Courtroom 1. Five days prior to the hearing, counsel 

for plaintiff shall provide a WRITTEN STATEMENT setting forth either (1) the basis for his failure to 

appear at the January 26, 2015 case management conference, his failure to file the required case 

management statement jointly, and his failure to comply with the protocol for employment cases;

or (2) an explanation for his failure to comply. Failure of plaintiff’s counsel to appear for the 

February 13, 2015 hearing may justify the imposition of terminating sanctions. 

Within five days of issuance of this Order, defendant’s counsel shall file a declaration 

setting forth the monetary amount expended in terms of attorney time and resources relative to the 

January 26, 2015 case management conference, and the monetary amount expended relative to
