UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

LAUREL COLLINS,

Plaintiff,

v.

EDUCATION SOURCE, INC.,

Defendant.

No. 2:16-cv-0282-KJM-KJN

ORDER AND 

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

On August 4, 2016 this matter came on for a hearing regarding plaintiff’s motion for 

default judgment.1 (ECF No. 8.) Both parties failed to appear at this hearing. Accordingly, IT IS 

HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Within fourteen (14) days of this order, the parties shall show cause in writing why 

sanctions should not be imposed for their failure to appear at the August 4, 2016 

hearing.2

 

1

This motion was referred to the undersigned pursuant to E.D. Cal. L.R. 302(c)(19) and 28 

U.S.C. § 636(b)(1).

2

The court notes that after the hearing, counsel for plaintiff sent an email to the court 

representing that his failure to appear on plaintiff’s behalf was due to a calendaring error on his 

end and apologizing for the waste of judicial time and resources his error caused. While the court 

appreciates plaintiff’s counsel’s prompt response and apology, plaintiff’s counsel is still required 

to file a formal written response setting forth the reasons for his failure to appear and comply with 

the directions set forth in this order.
