SAMUEL LOVE,

Plaintiff,

v.

MOGEEB M. HASSAN, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 19-cv-01871-SK 

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE FOR 

FAILURE TO APPEAR

On February 14, 2020, the Court scheduled a Status Conference to be held at 1:30 p.m. on 

March 9, 2020. (Dkt. No. 24.) Defendants failed to appear. The Court further notes that 

Defendants filed an answer after default had already been entered against them. Neither 

Defendant has moved to vacate the entry of default. Unless and until Defendants move, or the 

parties stipulate, to vacate the entry of default, Defendants may not defend against Plaintiff’s 

claims. 

Accordingly, the Court HEREBY issues an ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE (“OSC”) why 

monetary sanctions in the amount of $200 should not be imposed on each Defendant for failure to 

appear at the Status Conference on March 9, 2020. Defendants shall file a response to this OSC in 

writing by no later than March 23, 2020. 

The Court ADVISES Defendants that a Handbook for Pro Se Litigants, which is available 

through the Court’s website or in the Clerk’s office, contains helpful information about proceeding 

without an attorney. The Court also advises Defendants that they also may wish to seek assistance 

from the Legal Help Center. Defendants may call the Legal Help Center at 415-782-9000, 

extension 8657, or sign up on the 15th Floor of the Courthouse, Room 2796, for a free 

appointment with an attorney who may be able to provide basic legal help, but not legal

representation.

Additionally, the Court notes that the deadlines set in the Scheduling Order have all 

passed. (Dkt. No. 6.) At the status conference, Plaintiff’s counsel represented that the parties 

conducted a site inspection. However, Plaintiff did not request an extension do discuss settlement 

or an extension to file a Notice of Need for Mediation. Plaintiff has an obligation to diligently 

prosecute this case.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
