SHENZHENSHI HAITIECHENG 

SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY CO., 

LTD., et al.,

Plaintiffs,

v.

REARDEN LLC, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 15-cv-00797-JST 

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

Re: Dkt. Nos. 265, 266

On June 30, 2016, defendants and counter-claimants Rearden, LLC, et. al. (“Rearden”) 

filed their second motion for an entry of default judgment against counter-defendant Shenzhenshi 

Haiticheng Science and Technology Co., Ltd. (“SHST”) for its failure to participate in discovery.

1

 

ECF No. 215. On July 21, 2016, Judge Kim issued a report recommending that this Court enter 

default judgment against SHST. ECF No. 252. 

Under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 72(b)(2), SHST had fourteen days from the date of 

Judge Kim’s recommendation to file objections to Judge Kim’s report. Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b)(2). 

By the Court’s calculations, SHST’s objections were due on August 4, 2016. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 

6(a)(1). The Court reminded the parties of that fact at the hearing on August 4, 2016. Tr. of 

Proceedings (August 4, 2016), ECF No. 264 at 3:10-12. However, SHST did not file its 

objections until August 8, 2016.2 ECF No. 265. Accordingly, the Court orders SHST to show 

cause why the motion should not be stricken as untimely. 

 

1

SHST has since been restored as the plaintiff in this action by virtue of this Court’s recent order 

setting aside the substitution order. 

2

SHST properly filed its objections as a “Motion for De Novo Determination of Dispositive 

Matter Referred to Magistrate Judge.” Civil L.R. 72-3. SHST also filed a concurrent motion to 

augment the record. ECF No. 266.
