NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JOSEPH G. MCGILL,

Plaintiff,

v.

THE HOME DEPOT, INC.,

Defendant.

Case No. 15-cv-03029-KAW 

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE FOR 

FAILURE TO APPEAR AT THE CASE 

MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE

On January 22, 2016, the Court granted Plaintiff Joseph G. McGill’s counsel’s motion to 

withdraw on the grounds that Plaintiff failed to communicate despite counsel’s efforts to reach 

him using various forms of communication since April 2015. (Dkt. No. 32.)

On March 8, 2016, the Court held a case management conference, where Plaintiff Joseph 

G. McGill did not appear. (See Dkt. No. 35.) 

Accordingly, Plaintiff is ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE, in writing, by no later than 

March 31, 2016, why this case should not be dismissed for failure to prosecute. Specifically, he 

shall explain why he did not attend the March 8, 2016 case management conference.

If Plaintiff has been unable to secure new counsel, he may contact the Federal Pro Bono 

Project’s Help Desk for assistance—a free service for pro se litigants—by calling (415) 782-8982. 

Plaintiff may also wish to consult a manual that the court has adopted to assist pro se litigants in 

presenting their case. This manual, and other free information for pro se litigants, is available 

online at: http://cand.uscourts.gov/proselitigants.
