INES MENDEZ,

Plaintiff,

v.

CALIFORNIA FORENSIC MEDICAL 

GROUP, INC., et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 14-cv-03756-NJV

ORDER TO APPEAR

The Order to Show Cause (Doc. 29) came on for hearing on August 11, 2015 at 10:00 a.m. 

In the Order, the court noted that the State Bar of California listed Counsel for Plaintiff, Steven 

Turner Davies, as suspended from the practice of law in California on July 1, 2015. Accordingly, 

the court required that counsel appear in person on August 11, 2015 at 10:00 a.m., to show cause 

as to why he should not be sanctioned for violation of Local Rule 11. The court also ordered Mr. 

Davies to serve a copy of the Order to Show Cause on Plaintiff and to instruct Plaintiff to attend 

the August 11, 2015 hearing. In addition, the court required Mr. Davies to, on or before 12:00 

p.m. on August 7, 2105, certify in writing that service to Plaintiff had been perfected and deliver 

that certification by hand to the Clerk’s Office at 3140 Boeing Avenue, McKinleyville, CA 95519.

Mr. Davies did not certify in writing that he served Plaintiff with a copy of the Order to 

Show Cause. Mr. Davies did not appear for the August 11, 2015 hearing at 10:00 a.m. Instead, 

Mr. Davies appeared at 11:00 a.m. At the hearing, the court inquired as to why Mr. Davies did not 

follow the court’s instruction to serve Plaintiff a copy of the Order to Show Cause. Mr. Davies 

answered by stating that he had not read the Order. When the court asked Mr. Davies if he was an 

active member of the State Bar of California, he responded that he was not.

The situation now is that Plaintiff does not have a lawyer representing him in this matter 

and may not even know it. Accordingly, it is ORDERED that this matter is set for hearing on 

August 25, 2015 at 10:00 a.m. at 3140 Boeing Avenue, McKinleyville, CA 95519. Plaintiff, Ines 

Mendes, shall attend the hearing in person. At the hearing, Plaintiff shall inform the court 

whether he intends to proceed in this matter pro se, or whether he intends to secure new counsel.

Further, it is ORDERED that the Responses to the Motions for Summary Judgment (Docs 

30 & 31), filed August 11, 2015, are hereby STRICKEN, as they were filed by Mr. Davies in 

violation of L.R. 11, as well as being several weeks late. In addition, the trial date and pretrial 

conference are VACATED and will be reset, if necessary, at a later date.

At the hearing on August 11, 2015, the court instructed Mr. Davies to provide the court 

with Plaintiff’s address. In addition, Counsel for Defendants provided the court with an address 

for the Plaintiff. The addresses are not the same. Out of an abundance of caution, the court will 

serve a copy of this order by mail to Plaintiff at both of the addresses.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: August 11, 2015
