NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JUNIS ADAMS,

Plaintiff,

v.

EXPERIAN INFORMATION SOLUTIONS, 

INC., et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 16-cv-04849-HSG

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE WHY 

SANCTIONS SHOULD NOT ISSUE

Re: Dkt. No. 19

On September 9, 2016, the Court set a case management conference for this reassigned 

civil case. Dkt. No. 19. On November 22, 2016, the Court held the case management conference 

as scheduled. Thomas P. Quinn, Jr., counsel for Defendant Equifax Information Services, LLC 

(“Equifax”), failed to appear. Mr. Quinn was aware of the hearing: he signed the joint case 

management statement, see Dkt. No. 40 at 8, and filed a motion to appear by phone, see Dkt. No. 

41, which the Court granted, see Dkt. No. 42.

As Equifax’s counsel, Mr. Quinn was required appear at the case management conference. 

See Fed. R. Civ. P. 16(a) (empowering the Court to order counsel to appear at pretrial 

conferences); Civil L.R. 16-10(c) (requiring counsel to appear at case management conferences). 

“Failure by counsel . . . to comply with any duly promulgated local rule or any Federal Rule may 

be a ground for imposition of any authorized sanction.” Civil L.R. 1-4. Accordingly, the Court 

ORDERS Mr. Quinn to show cause by November 29, 2016 why the Court should not sanction 

him for failing to appear at the case management conference on behalf of his client, Equifax.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated:
