LOCAL ONE, et al.,

Plaintiffs,

 v.

Defendants.

 /

No. C 05-00001 JSW

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

On October 14, 2005, this matter came before the Court for a hearing on the motion to

dismiss filed by Defendants City and County of San Francisco, John L. Martin, and the San

Francisco Airport Commission. Counsel for the Defendants, the Office of the City Attorney,

failed to appear at the hearing, without explanation and without any advance notice to the Court. 

Following the hearing, the Court received a message from Mr. Rolnick advising the Court that

he had the hearing calendared for 1:00 p.m. Mr. Rolnick’s pleadings, however, note the correct

hearing time of 9:00 a.m. 

Accordingly, the Court ORDERS as follows:

(1) Counsel for Defendants shall demonstrate good cause why the Court should not

impose sanctions for their failure to appear at the hearing on their motion to

dismiss. A response to this Order to Show Cause shall be due no later than

October 28, 2005, and shall include a written plan as to how counsel shall avoid

this situation as to future appearances before this Court. The submission from

Defendants shall be signed by City Attorney Dennis J. Herrera in addition to Mr.
