The Judge’s review of the docket in this action indicated

that the Clerk’s default judgment against Cross-Defendant City of

Mount Shasta on Cross-Complainant Pennbrook Homes’ cross-complaint

should not have entered because Pennbrook Homes appeared not to have 

properly served the City of Mount Shasta.

2 Since the September 17, 2007 OSC addressed everything in this

Order except for why sanctions pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil

Procedure 11 should not be imposed, it is assumed that Pennbrook Homes’

September 24, 2007 response to the September 17 OSC responded to all

portions of this OSC, except for why sanctions pursuant to Federal Rule

of Civil Procedure 11 should not be imposed.

3 Counsel for Defendant Pennbrook Homes shall not ask to be

excused from appearing at the hearing and shall not request to appear

telephonically at the hearing. 

2

On September 14, 2007, Pennbrook Homes and the City of Mount

Shasta filed a Stipulation to Set Aside Default Judgment on CrossComplaint, in which they seek a court order directing “the Clerk of

the Court [to] vacate the entry of default and default judgment

heretofore entered in this matter by Pennbrook Homes against the City

of Mt. Shasta.” Accordingly, the entry of default and default

judgment previously entered against Cross-Defendant City of Mount

Shasta in this action are vacated. 

Further, Pennbrook Homes and its counsel are ordered to

show cause (“OSC”) in a writing to be filed no later than 2:00 p.m. on

November 5, 2007 why sanctions pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil

Procedure 11, Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 16(f), and/or the

Court’s inherent sanction authority, should not be imposed for

misleading the court, in a declaration and a status report filed in

this action, by suggesting that Cross-Defendant City of Mount Shasta

had been properly served and therefore had the obligation to respond

to service of process and failed to do so.2 If a hearing is requested

on the OSC, that request is to be stated in the response. If the OSC

is heard, that hearing will commence at 10:00 a.m. on November 26,

2007, and counsel for Defendant Pennbrook Homes shall personally

appear at that hearing since it is a sanction hearing.3
