UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

JEFFREY BAKER, et al., 

Plaintiffs, 

v. 

OCWEN LOAN SERVICING, LLC, et al., 

Defendants. 

Case No. 15-cv-02676-JSW 

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE 

This case came before the Court for a case management conference on December 11, 2015, 

at 11:00 a.m. Ryan K. Woodson, Esq., counsel for Defendants in this matter, failed to appear. 

Alternate counsel appeared on behalf of Defendant. Counsel did not seek leave from this Court 

for alternate counsel to appear in lead counsel’s place. Additionally, alternate counsel was not 

prepared with regard to either the case itself or Mr. Woodson’s schedule. Indeed, alternate 

counsel had not been informed which party he was to represent, and had not spoken with Mr. 

Woodson regarding this case. 

This Court’s Civil Local Rules provide as follows: 

Unless excused by the Judge, lead trial counsel for each party must 

attend the initial Case Management Conference. Requests to 

participate in the conference by telephone must be filed and served 

at least 7 days before the conference or in accordance with the 

Standing Orders of the assigned Judge. 

N.D. Cal. Civil L.R. 16-10(a). 

Additionally, this Court’s Order Setting Case Management Conference in this case 

provided: 

The parties shall appear in person through lead counsel to discuss all 

items referred to in this Order and with authority to enter 

stipulations, to make admissions and to agree to further scheduling 

dates.
