Plaintiff,

v.

FLORA-TECH LANDSCAPE 

MANAGEMENT, INC.,

Defendant.

Case No. 14-cv-02144-VC 

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE AND 

ORDER RE FURTHER CASE 

MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE

A further case management conference is scheduled for January 20, 2015 at 10 am. Lead 

counsel for both parties must appear in person. They should be prepared to explain why the 

current case management schedule should not remain in place. 

At the further case management conference, Flora-Tech is ordered to show cause why it 

should be not sanctioned for failing to participate in the magistrate settlement conference it 

requested, and failing to notify the magistrate in a timely fashion that it would not participate. 

Possible sanctions would include the fees and costs incurred by Houston Casualty in preparing for 

the settlement conference, as well as an additional sanction for wasting the Court's time. FloraTech should file a brief on this issue, not to exceed ten pages, by Wednesday, January 14, 2015. 

Houston Casualty should file its response – including a declaration setting forth the fees and costs 

it incurred in preparing for the settlement conference – by Friday, January 16, 2015. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: January 13, 2015
