UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

On December 7, 2015, the Court held a scheduling conference and discussed with 

plaintiff’s counsel the fact that not all defendants had appeared in the matter. Specifically, neither 

Beatrice Fernandez has not appeared and neither has Citibank (South Dakota), N.A.1 The Court 

noted that though plaintiff’s counsel asserted that default against Citibank was entered by the state 

court. However, it appeared that this occurred after the notice of removal was filed and, hence, 

after that court lost jurisdiction to act, and that the state court withdrew the entry of default. 

In addition, the Court noted that plaintiff failed to filed proof of service to “All Persons 

Unknown Claiming Any Legal or Equitable Right, Title, Estate, Lien, or Interest in the Property 

Described in the Complaint Adverse to Plaintiffs' Title Thereto” or dismiss these defendants within

Though counsel for plaintiff asserts that default against Citibank was entered by the state court, 

this occurred after the notice of removal and, hence, after that court lost jurisdiction to act. It 

appears that the state court recognized this because it seems as though the state court withdrew the 

entry of default.

30 days.” Thus, the Court ordered, 

Plaintiff SHALL seek entry of default or request dismissal as to any defendant 

who has failed to appear within 30 days. Also Plaintiff SHALL file proof of 

service of the summons and complaint on “All Persons Unknown Claiming 

Any Legal or Equitable Right, Title, Estate, Lien, or Interest in the Property 

Described in the Complaint Adverse to Plaintiffs' Title Thereto” or dismiss 

these defendants within 30 days.

(Doc. 22 at 3, emphasis in the original) Nevertheless, plaintiff has failed to comply. Thus, the 

Court ORDERS:

1. Within 14 days, Plaintiff SHALL show cause in writing why sanctions, including 

termination of this action as to Beatrice Fernandez, Citibank (South Dakota), N.A., and All 

Persons Unknown Claiming Any Legal or Equitable Right, Title, Estate, Lien, or Interest in the 

Property Described in the Complaint Adverse to Plaintiffs' Title Thereto, should not be imposed 

for her failure to comply with the Court’s orders. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
