UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

ISAAC HAYNIE, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

GRANCARE, LLC, 

Defendant. 

Case No. 15-cv-04720-JSW 

FURTHER ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE 

TO PLAINTIFF’S COUNSEL 

Re: Dkt. No. 16 

This matter was scheduled for a case management conference on July 29, 2016. On July 

27, 2016, Plaintiff’s counsel filed an addendum to the case management conference statement, in 

which he stated that he was not able to attend that case management conference and requested that 

the matter be continued. Because Plaintiff contacted the Court’s staff to advise it that he intended 

to appear in person, as this Court directed, the Court held the case management conference. 

Plaintiff did appear as he indicated, and based on the Court’s colloquy, it is concerned that 

counsel has effectively abandoned his client. Therefore, Court issues the FURTHER ORDER TO 

SHOW CAUSE to Plaintiff’s counsel, Oktober Miller, as to why he should not be sanctioned for 

both for his failure to comply with the deadline in the Court’s Order to file a status report 

regarding his representation of Plaintiff and to show cause regarding the apparent abandonment of 

his client. 

The Court previously ordered that Mr. Miller should show cause why the Court should not 

impose sanctions in the amount of $250.00 for failure to comply with the deadlines set in the 

Court’s Order. The Court HEREBY ADVISES Mr. Miller that $250 is the minimum of amount of 

monetary sanctions it is considering imposing, he shall be prepared to show cause why he should 

not be sanctioned in an amount up to $1,000.00, and why the Court should not report him to the
