TIMOTHEUS COLEMAN,

Plaintiff,

v.

VEOLIA WATER WEST OPERATING 

SERVICES, INC.,

Defendant.

Case No. 15-cv-00779-JD 

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

On March 24, 2015, the Court set a case management conference in this case for June 3, 

2015. See Dkt. No. 10. The conference was held on that day, see Dkt. No. 16, but plaintiff 

Timotheus Coleman did not appear, or participate in the filing of the case management statement, 

as required by the Court’s Standing Order for Civil Cases. All attempts to effect service on 

Coleman at the mailing address he provided, whether by defendant Veolia Water West Operating 

Services or the Court, have been unsuccessful. See Dkt. No. 11-12. According to Veolia, the 

address Coleman provided is for a UPS store. See Dkt. No. 14 at 1:20-22.

However, Coleman apparently did know about the case management conference. 

According to Veolia, he emailed defendant’s counsel on April 10, 2015, and the parties 

communicated via email in subsequent weeks. See id. at 1:25-2:8. Counsel for Veolia represented 

to the Court at the case management conference that Coleman was aware of the date and location 

of the case management conference.

The Court orders Coleman to show cause why the case should not be dismissed for failure 

to appear at the case management conference or to comply with the Court’s standing order.

Coleman must file a response explaining why he failed to do so by July 6, 2015. The Court will 

mail a copy of this order to the address Coleman provided, and also directs Veolia’s counsel to 

send a copy of this order to Coleman via the email address he used to contact them. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
