IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

EDITH MANABAT, CASE NO. CV F 10-1018 LJO JLT

Plaintiffs, FURTHER ORDER ON DISMISSAL OF 

REMAINING DEFENDANTS

vs.

SIERRA PACIFIC MORTGAGE

COMPANY, INC.,

et al.,

Defendants.

 /

This Court’s July 7, 2010 order (“July 7 order”) dismissed without prejudice non-appearing

defendants Sierra Pacific Mortgage Company, Inc. (“Sierra Pacific”), McMillan Tuscany, LLC

(“McMillian”), NDEx West, LLC, and Priority Posting and Publication (collectively “non-appearing

defendants”) based on the disobedience by Peter Cabbiness (“Mr. Cabbiness”), plaintiff’s counsel, of

this Court’s June 25, 2010 order (“June 25 order”). The June 25 order required Mr. Cabbiness to file

papers, no later than July 1, 2010, to show cause why this Court should not dismiss the non-appearing

defendants.

On July 2, 2010, Mr. Cabbiness untimely filed papers to oppose dismissal of Sierra Pacific and

McMillin. In filing the papers, Mr. Cabbiness disobeyed Local Rule 133 to require compliance with this

Court’s electronic filing procedures. As such, this Court issued the July 7 order without knowing of Mr.

Cabbiness’ untimely papers which did not come to this Court’s attention until July 8, 2010.

The untimely papers reflect that Mr. Cabbiness seeks to pursue state law claims against only

Sierra Pacific and McMillin. As such, the papers and record reflect no grounds for this Court’s subject

matter jurisdiction to further warrant dismissal of this action without prejudice against non-appearing

defendants. Kern County Superior Court appears as the proper forum for plaintiff’s remaining claims.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
