UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

OAKLAND DIVISION

JOEL HORNSTEIN, On Behalf of

Himself and all Others Similarly Situated,

Plaintiff,

vs.

THE VANGUARD GROUP, INC.,

Defendant. 

No. C 07-3239 SBA

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

On September 4, 2007 Defendant filed a motion to dismiss, which is scheduled for hearing on

October 23, 2007 [Docket No. 27]. Plaintiff has failed to file an opposition or otherwise respond to the

motion.

Given that this Court's Standing Order states that “the failure of the opposing party to file a

memorandum of points and authorities in opposition to any motion shall constitute a consent to the

granting of the motion,” the Court may summarily grant the motion. However, in the interest of

providing Plaintiff with one last chance to prevent his case from being dismissed, IT IS HEREBY

ORDERED that the hearing on the motion to dismiss scheduled for October 23, 2007 [Docket No. 27]

is VACATED.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that:

(1) Plaintiff and/or Plaintiff’s counsel of record shall appear in Courtroom 3 of the

United States Courthouse, 1301 Clay Street, Oakland, California, on November

28, 2007, at 4:00 P.M., to show cause why the above-captioned case should not

be dismissed without prejudice for failure to prosecute.

(2) At least ten days prior to the above hearing, Plaintiff or Plaintiff’s counsel of

record must file a Certificate of Counsel with the Clerk of the Court, to explain

why the case should or should not be dismissed for failure to prosecute. The

Certificate shall set forth the nature of the case, its present status, the reason it

has not been brought to trial or otherwise terminated, any basis for opposition to

dismissal by any party, and its expected course if not dismissed. 

(3) Please take notice that this Order requires both the specified court appearance

and the filing of the Certificate of Counsel. Failure to fully comply with this

order will be deemed sufficient grounds to dismiss the action.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
