This case was called at 11:00 a.m. on July 21, 2016, for a regularly scheduled case

management conference, properly noticed, and no one appeared. The Court sent out an order

to show cause why the case should not be dismissed for lack of prosecution and for failure to

timely serve the summons and complaint. 

Plaintiff was ordered to show cause at 11:00 a.m. today why the case should not be

dismissed for lack of prosecution and for failure to timely serve the summons and complaint. 

Plaintiff was also ordered to show under oath by way of declaration by noon on August 2 any

facts on which the showing would be made. The order to show cause specifically stated that “if

plaintiff fails to file a written response and appear at the hearing, this case will be dismissed.”

one appeared (yet again). It was then put over to the end of the calendar to give counsel further

opportunity to appear. At the end of the calendar (11:08 a.m.), this case was called once again.
