UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DIANE ANANIAN, et al.,

Plaintiffs,

v.

SABADELL UNITED BANK, N.A.,

Defendant.

Case No. 16-cv-01535-MEJ 

ORDER VACATING HEARING ON 

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE; 

REQUIRING DEFENDANT’S 

COUNSEL TO MEET AND CONFER 

AND FILE JOINT CMC STATEMENT

Re: Dkt. No. 30

The Court ordered counsel for Defendant, Keefe Roberts, to show cause why sanctions 

should not issue against him in this matter. Dkt. No. 30. The Court has reviewed the declaration 

filed by counsel for Defendant (Dkt. No. 36) and now VACATES the August 11, 2016 order to 

show cause hearing. 

No later than August 22, 2016, counsel for Defendant shall travel to San Mateo, California, 

in order to conduct an in-person meet-and-confer session with counsel for Plaintiffs. The parties 

shall address all topics required to be addressed by Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(f), as well 

as alternative dispute resolution options. No later than August 29, 2016, the parties shall file a 

joint Initial Case Management Statement in accordance with the undersigned’s standing order.

By issuing this Order, the Court intends to hit a “reset” button and allow the parties to 

move forward and litigate the merits of the case. The Court, however, reserves the right to 

sanction counsel for Defendant if he misses another deadline, ignores another court order, or fails 

to meaningfully participate in this action. His attention to and compliance with the Court’s orders
