NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MERCURY CASUALTY COMPANY OF 

AMERICA, 

 Plaintiff, 

 vs. 

BROAN-NUTONE, LLC, 

 Defendant. 

Case No.: 18-CV-6221 YGR

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE RE: SANCTIONS FOR 

FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH STANDING 

ORDER

This Court’s Standing Order In Civil Cases requires that, at case management conferences, 

“each party shall be represented at case management conferences by lead trial counsel or counsel 

with authority to enter into stipulations and make admissions pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 16(a) and 

(c), as well as fully prepared to address all of the matters in the CAND CMC Order and Civil L.R. 

16-10(b).” (Standing Order in Civil Cases, ¶ 6.) The Standing Order further provides that: 

Failure to do so shall be considered grounds for sanctions. Because of the 

substantive discussions that occur during case management conferences, 

telephonic appearances are disfavored. The Court will grant requests to appear by 

telephone only upon a compelling showing of good cause. The routine 

inconveniences of travel do not constitute good cause. 

 An initial case management conference in this matter was scheduled for February 4, 2019. 

Counsel appearing for defendant Broan-NuTone, LLC was not lead trial counsel or counsel with the 

requisite authority. 

Therefore, Counsel KRSTO MIJANOVIC is ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE why they should not be 

sanctioned in the amount of $250.00 for failure to comply with this Court’s Standing Order. 

A hearing on this Order to Show Cause will be held on Friday, February 22, 2019, on the 

Court’s 9:01a.m. Calendar, in the Federal Courthouse, 1301 Clay Street, Oakland, California, in 

Courtroom 1.

United States District Court 

Northern District of California 

By no later than Friday, February 15, 2019, counsel KRSTO MIJANOVIC must file a written 

response to this Order to Show Cause. If the Court is satisfied with the response, it may vacate the 

hearing on the Order to Show Cause. Otherwise, lead trial counsel must personally appear at the 

hearing. Neither a special appearance nor a telephonic appearance will be permitted. Failure to file a 

written response or to appear personally will be deemed an admission that no good cause exists and 

that the imposition of monetary sanctions is appropriate. 

IT IS SO ORDERED. 

Date: February 7, 2019
