UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

On July 25, 2016, the Court held the mandatory scheduling conference. (Doc. 34) Neither 

the plaintiffs nor their counsel, Mr. Schoenberg, appeared. Id.

At the onset of this case, the Court ordered:

Attendance at the Scheduling Conference is mandatory upon each party not 

represented by counsel or, alternatively, by retained counsel. Only counsel who are 

thoroughly familiar with the facts and the law of the instant case, and who have full 

authority to bind his or her client, shall appear. Trial counsel should participate in 

this Scheduling Conference whenever possible. It may be necessary for counsel to 

spend as much as 45 minutes in this Conference.

(Doc. 2 at 2) Counsel participated in developing a joint scheduling statement but, inexplicably, 

failed to appear at the conference. Thus, the Court ORDERS:
