IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SAN JOSE DIVISION

Anita Hunter,

Plaintiff,

 v.

Edward H. Okun, et al.,

Defendants. /

No. C 07-02795 JW 

RENEWED ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

WHY DEFENDANTS OKUN AND OKUN

HOLDINGS SHOULD NOT BE

SANCTIONED

On February 27, 2008, the Court issued a Scheduling Order and Order to Show Cause Why

Defendants Okun and Okun Holdings Should Not Be Sanctioned for their failure to appear at the

case management conference scheduled for February 25, 2008. (Docket Item No. 55.) On March

17, the Court held the Show Cause hearing, and Defendants Okun and Okun Holdings failed to

appear. On the record at the hearing, the Court noted that it intended to strike the Answer to

Plaintiff’s Complaint filed by Defendants Okun and Okun Holdings because of their repeated failure

to appear. However, after the hearing, the Court became concerned that Defendant Okun may not

have received adequate notice of the hearing because he is a pro per. Accordingly, the Court sets a

new Show Cause hearing for Monday, April 28, 2008 at 9 A.M.

Defendants Okun and Okun Holdings shall appear at the hearing to show cause, if any, by

actual appearance in Court, and by certification filed with the Court by April 18, 2008, why they

should not be sanctioned for failure to attend the case management conference scheduled for

February 25, 2008, and the previous Show Cause hearing set for March 17, 2008. The certificate

shall set forth in factual summary the reason no appearances were made and what steps Defendants

Okun and Okun Holding are taking to defend the action, their present status, and the expected future

course of the litigation. 

A failure of Defendants Okun and Okun Holdings to file a certification or to appear at the

hearing in accordance with this order will result in sanctions, including but not limited to, their

Answer being stricken.
