The final pretrial conference scheduled in this action

for January 25, 2008 is rescheduled to commence at 1:30 p.m. on 

March 17, 2008. Defendant James E. Zoucha1 (“Defendant”) shall

file a pretrial statement at least seven (7) days prior to the

rescheduled final pretrial conference. This rescheduling is

necessitated because it has come to the Court’s attention that

Defendant has not been served with a copy of the order filed

January 9, 2008, that granted his then-lawyer’s motion to withdraw

as counsel of record. This lack of service was discovered as the

2 The Status (Pretrial Scheduling) Order filed on December 7,

2006 prescribed that “all persons representing themselves and appearing

in propria persona must attend the pretrial conference” (emphasis

added).

2

Court was on the brink of issuing an order to Defendant requiring

him to show cause why he should not be sanctioned for failure to

file a pretrial statement. It is recognized that Plaintiff’s

counsel indicated in its separate Pretrial Conference Statement

that Defendant had notice of the previously scheduled final

pretrial conference and stated he would not be attending the

pretrial conference. Defendant shall attend the final pretrial

conference scheduled to commence in courtroom 10 at 1:30 p.m. on 

March 17, 2008.2 Failure to attend the scheduled final pretrial

conference could result in Defendant’s answer being stricken at the

scheduled hearing, and Defendant being subject to default judgment

proceedings.

The Clerk shall serve a copy of the order filed January

9, 2008 on Defendant at the following address, and serve all future

documents on Defendant at said address:

James E. Zoucha

Oceanside, CA 92057
