Anderton, Kara Childress, and Alex Campos (ECF No. 44); and (2) defendants Michael 

DiManno’s and Accuire, LLC’s motion to compel compliance with subpoenas against nonparties 

Vensure Employer Services, Inc. and Cen Cal Insurance Services (ECF No. 55). 

Angelica Simpson appeared on behalf of plaintiff and third-party defendants. MariaVittoria Carminati appeared on behalf of defendants. No counsel appeared on behalf of the 

nonparties.

On August 19, 2020, two weeks prior to the Zoom hearing, attorney Jesse E.M. Randolph 

filed a response in opposition to defendants’ motion to compel against the nonparties. (ECF No.

61.) Mr. Randolph had previously filed a notice of appearance to serve as additional counsel for 

plaintiff and third-party defendants. (ECF No. 46.) Mr. Randolph did not file a notice of

appearance to serve as counsel for the nonparties. Nevertheless, he filed an opposition to 

defendants’ motion to compel on the nonparties’ behalf, and therein, he expressly represented that 

he and the Randolph Leal Group were counsel for the nonparties. (ECF No. 61 at 8.)

Neither Mr. Randolph nor any other attorney from the Randolph Legal Group appeared at 

the September 2, 2020 Zoom hearing on defendants’ motion to compel. Consequently, the 

nonparties were unrepresented at a contested hearing.

For the foregoing reasons, the court hereby orders attorney Jesse E.M. Randolph to show 

cause within fourteen days why he should not be sanctioned $250.00 for failing to appear at the 

September 2, 2020 hearing.

The Clerk of Court is directed to send this order to Jesse E.M. Randolph via ECF.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: September 10, 2020
