ORRIN HOLT, et al.,

Plaintiffs,

v.

US BANK, NATIONAL 

ASSOCIATION, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No.15-cv-00013-NC 

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

Defendant U.S. Bank National Association moves to dismiss plaintiffs Orrin Holt’s

and Pamela Holt’s First Amended Complaint. This complaint describes Republic National 

as a party that “do[es] business in the County of Monterey, State of California and was 

listed on the Notice of Default and the Notice of Trustee’s Sale.” Dkt. No. 29 at ¶ 5. In 

U.S. Banks’ removal notice, however, U.S. Bank states it conducted a diligent search and 

could not find an entity named “Republic National.” Dkt. No. 1 at ¶¶ 3-4. Indeed, the 

Holts have not served Republic National at any point in this case. 

Accordingly, the Court orders the Holts to do one of three things: (1) show cause 

why the entity Republic National should not be stricken from the First Amended 

Complaint; (2) strike Republic National from the First Amended Complaint; (3) or move 

for leave to file a Second Amended Complaint that strikes Republic National from the 

pleading or clarifies its proper identity. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 15(a)(2) (party may amend its 

pleading with court’s leave).
