UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

SCOTT JOHNSON, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

480 GEARY STREET, LLC, et al., 

Defendants. 

Case No. 19-cv-02460-JSW 

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE WHY 

DEFENDANTS SHOULD NOT BE 

HELD IN CONTEMPT 

Re: Dkt. Nos. 30, 31 

 On May 28, 2020, this Court granted, in part, Plaintiff’s motion for sanctions and ordered 

Defendants to pay Plaintiffs attorneys’ fees in the amount of $1470.00 by June 8, 2020. The Court 

also ordered that if Defendants had not paid Plaintiffs the $750.00 it had ordered them to pay on 

November 8, 2019, they must do so by June 8, 2020. The Court advised Defendants that if they 

did not comply with that deadline, the Court would issue an Order to Show Cause directing them 

to show cause why they should not be held in contempt. On June 11, 2020, Plaintiffs filed a 

notice stating that Defendants have not paid either of the monetary sanctions. 

 Accordingly, pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 37(b)(2)(A)(vii), Defendants are 

HEREBY ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE why they should not be held in contempt based on 

their failure to comply with the Court’s order imposing sanctions. Defendants shall respond by 

July 2, 2020, and the Court will address this issue at the case management conference scheduled 

for July 17, 2020. The Court further admonishes Defendants that as it stated in the Order granting, 

in part, Plaintiff’s motion for sanctions, if they fail to appear for or fail to participate in or do not 

provide input on the joint case management conference statement required by this Order, or if they 

fail to timely respond to or provide insufficient responses to any further discovery that Plaintiff 

serves, the Court will take more drastic action, including striking their answer and/or entering a
