UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

On July 27, 2015, the Court granted the request of Brian Dora, Jr., to substitute Mark Geragos

and Benjamin Meiselas as his counsel of record. (Doc. 28) Notably, at that time, the Geragos firm 

represented that Brian Dora, Sr., also would seek to substitute them for his previous counsel. The 

Geragos firm has taken steps to ensure that the previous law firm, Rodriguez & Associates, refrains 

from further contact with the senior Mr. Dora (Doc. 30 at 3) but have failed to file a request for a 

substitution of his attorneys. Thus, the matter as to this plaintiff has come to a complete standstill. Id.

Therefore, within 14 days, the Court ORDERS Brian Dora, Sr., Mark Geragos and Benjamin 

Meiselas to show cause why sanctions should not be imposed for their actions which have delayed the 

progress of this case. Alternatively, the Plaintiff may file a request for substitution of attorneys within 

14 days.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
