SAN JOSE DIVISION

SCOTT JOHNSON,

Plaintiff,

v.

G.S. KATO LLC, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No.18-cv-03745-VKD 

ORDER RE SHOW CAUSE RESPONSE

Re: Dkt. No. 15

Plaintiff Scott Johnson filed the present action on June 25, 2018. Dkt. No. 1. Pursuant to 

General Order No. 56, the parties’ last day to conduct a joint site inspection was October 9, 2018, 

and Mr. Johnson’s last day to file a notice of need for mediation was November 20, 2018. Dkt. 

No. 5. Mr. Johnson did not file a notice of need for mediation by the November 20 deadline.

On November 26, 2018, the Court issued an order to show cause why this action should 

not be dismissed for failure to prosecute. Dkt. No. 13. On December 4, 2018, Mr. Johnson filed a 

show cause response asking the Court to extend the site inspection deadline to January 3, 2019 and 

to order defendants to provide at least three dates of availability for an inspection before the 

January 3 deadline. Dkt. No. 15. 

The Court grants Mr. Johnson’s request to extend time. The parties are ordered to 

complete the joint site inspection by no later than January 3, 2019, with all other deadlines 

adjusted accordingly. The Court further orders defendants to promptly provide Mr. Johnson with 

at least three dates on which they will be available to conduct the joint site inspection by the 

January 3 deadline. If defendants fail to comply with this order, the Court may impose sanctions 

against defendants and/or their counsel, including monetary sanctions, entry of adverse judgment, 

or other appropriate sanctions.
