IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

FELICE MORA,

Plaintiff,

 v.

JOHN E. POTTER,

Defendant. /

No. C 05-4715 SI

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

RE: FAILURE TO APPEAR AT

CASE MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE

and RE: DISMISSAL FOR FAILURE TO

PROSECUTE

This matter came on for a specially-scheduled Case Management Conference on Wednesday,

March 5, 2006. Defense counsel was present, but counsel for plaintiff did not appear, nor did he contact

the Court in any way concerning his absence.

The case has recently been reassigned to the undersigned district judge, and the purpose of the

case management conference was to set a schedule for the balance of the case. The Court has reviewed

the case docket, which demonstrates that it took plaintiff’s counsel roughly two years (and two orders

to show cause) to effect service on defendant. This delay is unacceptable, and renders the need to set

an expeditious schedule acute. Counsel’s absence from the case management conference is therefore

very troubling.

Plaintiff’s counsel is ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE in writing to be filed no later than

March 12, 2008, why he did not appear for the Case Management Conference, and why this

action, like related action C 07-2118 MJJ, should not be dismissed for failure to prosecute.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: March 5, 2008
