COMPANY, 

Plaintiff, 

v.

CORPORATION, et al., 

Defendants. 

Case No.16-cv-06016-JSW 

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE 

This matter was scheduled for an initial case management conference on March 17, 2017. 

The order setting the case management conference stated: “The parties shall appear in person 

through lead counsel to discuss all items referred to in this Order and with authority to enter 

stipulations, to make admissions and to agree to further scheduling dates.” (Dkt. No. 13; see also 

N.D. Cal. Civil L.R. 16-10(a) (“Unless excused by the Judge, lead trial counsel for each party 

must attend the initial Case Management Conference.”).) 

Joshua Seth Markowitz, Esq. is listed on the docket as counsel for Defendant Jasbir Walia. 

Joseph W. Carcione, Jr., Esq., signed the joint case management statement as counsel for 

Defendant Jasbir Walia. However, neither of these attorneys appeared at the initial case 

management conference. Instead, Joshua Henderson, Esq. appeared for Defendant Jasbir Walia. 

Accordingly, Mr. Markowitz and Mr. Carcione are HEREBY ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE 

regarding which of them is lead trial counsel for Plaintiff and why the Court should not impose 

sanctions in the amount of $250.00 against lead trial counsel for his failure to appear and for his 

failure to comply with the order scheduling the case management conference and Civil Local Rule 

16-10(a). 

Additionally, neither Mr. Markowitz nor Mr. Carcione has filed a notice of appearance as
