UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

The plaintiff claims she was injured when she bit into a cherry pit that was found in a slice of 

pie served to her at the Marie Callender restaurant in Bakersfield, California. (Doc. 1 at 19) She filed

her complaint in the Clark County Superior Court in Nevada, where she lived. (Doc. 1) soon thereafter, 

the defendant removed the matter to the United States District Court, District of Nevada. (Doc. 1)

On July 20, 2016, the parties stipulated that the matter should be transferred to this Court and 

the District of Nevada did so. (Doc. 10) When the case was received in this Court on August 2, 2016, 

the Clerk of the Court directed attorneys Anthony Sharp and Richard Harris1to seek membership in 

this Court. (Doc. 13) Nevertheless, counsel have failed to take any action to do so. Therefore, the 

Court ORDERS:
