IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

SAN JOSE DIVISION 

MANUEL GARNICA, et al., 

 Plaintiffs, 

 v. 

CREATIVE HORTICULTURE, et al. 

 Defendants. 

____________________________________/

No. C 08-00612 RS 

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE 

Plaintiffs’ pretrial conference statement expressly admits they have no evidence to support 

jurisdiction of their claims stated under federal law, although they appear to be requesting the Court 

to exercise discretion to hear the state law claims under a theory of supplemental jurisdiction. 

Plaintiffs’ counsel, however, failed to appear at the pretrial conference.1

 In light of these 

circumstances, plaintiffs are ordered to show cause, if any they have, why this action should not be 

dismissed, without prejudice. Plaintiffs may file a brief, not to exceed 15 pages, within 10 days of 

the date of this order setting forth any reasons they believe exist for this Court to retain jurisdiction. 

Alternatively, plaintiffs may elect to dismiss this action within the same time frame. Defendants 

may file a responsive brief, not to exceed 15 pages, within 10 days of any brief filed by plaintiffs.

 Counsel subsequently filed a letter explaining and apologizing that his office had calendared the 

date of the conference incorrectly.
