Case No. 09-5574 SC

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

WHY CASE SHOULD NOT

BE DISMISSED

This case was filed on November 24, 2009. See Docket No. 1. 

On January 21, 2010, Defendant Countrywide Home Loans, Inc. filed

a motion to dismiss. Docket No. 16. On February 4, 2010,

Defendant Gi Huang Li filed a motion to dismiss. Docket No. 20. 

On the same date, Defendants Alca Corporation d/b/a Home Funders

Financial, and Romeo Felisco Alvidera, filed a motion to strike,

Docket No. 22, a motion for more definite statement, Docket No.

23, and a motion to dismiss, Docket No. 24. 

Plaintiff has not responded to these motions. Instead, on

February 25, 2010, Plaintiff filed an untimely Statement of NonOpposition, stating that Plaintiff does not oppose dismissal of

Plaintiff's two federal causes of action. Docket No. 30. On

February 26, 2010, Plaintiff filed an Amended Complaint, in

violation of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 15(a)(1)(B), which

requires amending pleadings to be filed within twenty-one days of

service of a Rule 12(b) motion. Plaintiff's counsel, Sharon

Lapin, has pursued a similar tactic in other federal actions. See

Esbeidy Saucedo v. First Franklin Loan Servs., No. 09-5573 (N.D.

Cal.); Alfredo Mejia v. Countrywide Home Loans, No. 09-2346; (E.D.

Cal.), Phillip Crump v. Franklin Credit Mgmt., No. 09-2378 (E.D.

Cal.); Frank Williams v. Bank of America; No. 09-3060 (E.D. Cal.). 

It appears to the Court that Plaintiff's counsel is seeking to

delay resolution of this case on the merits.

The Court ORDERS Plaintiff's counsel to show cause in writing

no later than March 26, 2010, why this case should not be

dismissed for failure to comply with the Court's local rules and

the federal rules. The show-cause hearing is scheduled for April

9, 2010, at 10:00 a.m. in Courtroom 1, on the 17th floor, U.S.

Courthouse, 450 Golden Gate Avenue, San Francisco, CA 94102. The

hearing on the pending motions scheduled for March 19, 2010, is

VACATED. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: March 17, 2010
