UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

STEVE FERRARI, ET AL., 

Plaintiffs, 

vs. 

MERCEDES BENZ USA, LLC, ET AL., 

Defendants. 

CASE NO. 17-cv-00018-YGR 

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE WHY FOURTH 

AMENDED COMPLAINT SHOULD NOT BE 

STRICKEN AS FILED WITHOUT LEAVE OF 

COURT OR WRITTEN CONSENT

TO THE PLAINTIFFS STEVE FERRARI, ET AL. AND THEIR COUNSEL OF RECORD: 

You are HEREBY ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE why the Fourth Amended Complaint, filed 

May 22, 2018 (Dkt. No. 139) without leave of Court, should not be stricken. 

A hearing on this Order to Show Cause will be held on Friday, June 8, 2018, on the 

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

Courtroom 1. By no later than Friday, June 1, 2018, plaintiff must file a written response to this 

Order to Show Cause or, in the alternative, a motion for leave or a written stipulation to the file the 

Fourth Amended Complaint. Plaintiffs’ representation in the body of the Fourth Amended 

Complaint itself, that “all defendants provided written consent” is not sufficient to satisfy Rule 

15(a)(2) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. 

If the Court is satisfied with plaintiff’s response, the hearing may be taken off calendar and 

the parties need not appear. 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 joint 

statement, written response, or to appear personally will be deemed an admission that no good 

cause exists and that striking is appropriate. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: May 25, 2018
