UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

SAN JOSE DIVISION 

WARREN SPIES, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

CARSON SMITHFIELD, LLC, 

Defendant. 

Case No. 5:19-cv-01401-EJD 

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE WHY 

DEFAULT SHOULD NOT BE 

ENTERED 

Defendant was served on April 11, 2019. Dkt. No. 13. Since then, no counsel has 

appeared on Defendant’s behalf, Defendant has failed to answer the complaint, and Defendant has 

twice failed to submit its portion of case management statements (see Dkt. Nos. 17, 19). Because 

Defendant has failed to plead or otherwise defend, entry of default is warranted. Fed. R. Civ. P. 

55(a); see Fisher v. Taylor, 1 F.R.D. 448, 448 (E.D. Tenn. 1940). 

Accordingly, the parties are ordered to appear before the Honorable Edward J. Davila on 

August 29, 2019 at 10:00 AM in Courtroom No. 4, 5th Floor, United States District Court, 280 

South First Street, San Jose, California, 95113, for Defendant to show cause why the Court should 

not enter default against it. Failure to appear will result in entry of default. The Court may vacate 

this Order to Show Cause, if on or before August 19, 2019, (1) Defendant’s counsel notices their 

appearance in this matter, (2) Defendant responds to the complaint, and (3) Defendant files a 

statement with the Court explaining its neglect in defending this action. Alternatively, the parties 

may file, on or before August 19, 2019, a stipulated dismissal of the action pursuant to Federal 

Rule of Civil Procedure 41(a). 

All other pretrial deadlines and hearing dates, including the Conference set for August 1,
