United States District Court

Northern District of California

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

HONG JACQUELINE NGUYEN 

GARDNER,

Plaintiff,

v.

CHEVRON CAPITAL CORPORATION,

Defendant.

Case No. 15-cv-01514-JD 

ORDER RE SANCTIONS

Re: Dkt. Nos. 39, 41

The Court issued an order directing plaintiff’s attorney Donald C. Schwartz to “show cause 

in writing why the Court should not impose monetary sanctions pursuant to its inherent powers for 

his failure to appear at a noticed hearing and case management conference in this matter” on 

Wednesday, December 2, 2015. Dkt. No. 39.

In his response to the Order to Show Cause, Dkt. No. 41, Mr. Schwartz sets forth a mass of 

irrelevant facts in an unprofessional and discourteous tone, and fails to show good cause for his 

unexcused failure to appear. Mr. Schwartz is consequently sanctioned in the amount of $300.00, 

to be paid to the Clerk of the Court, Office of the Clerk, United States District Court, 450 Golden 

Gate Avenue, San Francisco, CA 94102-3489, by January 15, 2016. The Court expects that it 

will not see from Mr. Schwarz any more unexcused absences or filings that resemble his OSC 

response in tone and content. The Court will impose more serious disciplinary measures if that is 

not the case. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: December 9, 2015
