ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

ORDER TO APPEAR IN COURT AND SHOW CAUSE WHY MINOR PLAINTIFF K.B.’S 

CASE SHOULD NOT BE DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE 

 KIYERA BYRONE, Minor Plaintiff K.B.’s mother and guardian ad litem in this action, is 

hereby ORDERED TO PERSONALLY APPEAR on NOVEMBER 19, 2015 at 11:00 a.m. in 

this Court, 450 Golden Gate Avenue, San Francisco, CA, 15th Floor, Courtroom C, to explain 

why she has not provided proof of paternity, in the form of a DNA sample, of her son, pursuant to 

the settlement agreement reached in this case on May 27, 2015. 

That settlement was conditioned on approval by the COUNTY OF ALAMEDA Board of 

Supervisors and subject to approval by this Court of Minor K.B.’s minor’s compromise. Neither 

approval by the Board of Supervisors, nor approval of the minor’s compromise, can occur until the 

the DNA testing occurs. Nearly 6 months have passed, and Ms. BYRONE has failed to produce 

Minor Plaintiff K.B. for DNA testing.
