IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

Plaintiff,

v.

Defendants.

Case No. 19-cv-01047-MMC 

ORDER DISCHARGING ORDER TO 

SHOW CAUSE; CONTINUING CASE 

MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE; 

DIRECTIONS TO CLERK AND 

FORMER COUNSEL 

After plaintiff Frank Schwab (“Schwab”) had not filed proof of service of the 

summons and complaint on any defendant in the above-titled action, and failed to appear 

as ordered at a regularly scheduled case management conference, the Court, on August 

2, 2019, issued to said plaintiff an order to show cause, no later than August 19, 2019, 

why the above-titled action should not be dismissed for failure to serve and failure to 

prosecute. Thereafter, on August 19, 2019, Schwab’s former counsel filed a response,

explaining he “did not inform [Schwab] of the [above-referenced] case management 

conference” (see Resp. at 1:19-20) and “Schwab has informed [him] that he is 

interviewing attorneys and hopes to have retained counsel in the next day or so” (see id.

at 1:22-23). 

The Court, having considered the above circumstances, hereby rules as follows: 

1. The Order to Show Cause is hereby DISCHARGED. 

2. The Case Management Conference is hereby CONTINUED to October 4, 

2019; a Joint Case Management Statement shall be filed no later than September 27, 

2019.
