UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

BAY AREA PAINTERS AND TAPERS 

PENSION TRUST FUND, AND ITS JOINT 

BOARD OF TRUSTEES, et al.,

Plaintiffs,

v.

VENTURA FINISHING SYSTEMS,

Defendant.

Case No. 14-cv-03364-HSG 

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

Re: Dkt. No. 24

On December 1, 2014, the Court conditionally granted the withdrawal of Frank J. Peretta, 

defense counsel for Ventura Finishing Systems (“Defendant”), on the condition that Defendant 

find new counsel and file a substitution of attorney form by February 13, 2015. (Dkt. No. 24). In 

that Order, Mr. Peretta was directed to file a declaration by December 12, 2014 stating that he had 

provided Defendant with notice of the Court’s December 1, 2014 ruling. Additionally, Defendant 

was advised that if it failed to secure counsel by February 13, 2015 judgment could be entered 

against it. (Dkt. No. 24). Both the December and February deadlines have now passed and 

neither Mr. Peretta nor Defendant complied with the Court’s December 1, 2014 Order. 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Defendant shall show cause in writing by 

March 17, 2015 as to why default judgment should not be issued against it for its failure to comply 

with the Court's order. 

Additionally, Mr. Peretta is directed to show cause in writing by March 17, 2015 for his 

failure to comply with the Court's December 1, 2014 Order.
