UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MICHAEL DILLMAN, et al.,

Plaintiffs,

v.

TUOLUMNE COUNTY, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 1:13-cv-00404-LJO-SKO

ORDER DISCHARGING ORDER TO 

SHOW CAUSE

ECF NO. 84

On December 3, 2014, the Court ordered Defendants to show cause why sanctions should 

not be imposed for their failure to personally appear at a settlement conference scheduled on 

December 2, 2014. (ECF No. 84.) Defendants submitted a response to the order on December 

12, 2014. (ECF No. 85.)

As noted in the order to show cause, the order setting the settlement conference clearly 

stated that the parties must attend the settlement conference with their attorneys. Moreover, 

contrary to Defendants’ assertion that they were unaware that they could have requested that the 

settlement conference be vacated, the order clearly stated that:

As far in advance of the settlement conference as possible, a party 

shall inform the Court and other parties that it believes the case is 

not in a settlement posture so the Court may vacate or reset the 

settlement conference.

(Scheduling Order, at pg. 8:5-9, ECF No. 30.) Nonetheless, the Court will discharge the order to

show cause without imposing sanctions. The Court notes that Plaintiffs did not file a 

memorandum setting forth their costs and attorneys’ fees, as ordered in the Court’s order to show 

cause.

Based upon the representations therein, it is HEREBY ORDERED that the December 3, 

2014 order to show cause is DISCHARGED.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
