UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

GERARD ROBERT WETLE,

Plaintiff,

v.

DUANE MORRIS LLP, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 19-cv-02451-EMC 

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

Docket No. 14

Plaintiff Gerard Wetle has filed suit against Defendants Duane Morris LLP and Zhaoyang 

Li. Mr. Wetle asserts claims for, inter alia, legal malpractice and breach of fiduciary duty. Mr. Li

filed a motion to dismiss on November 19, 2019. According to Mr. Li, there is no subject matter

jurisdiction over the case. See Docket No. 14 (motion). Mr. Wetle’s opposition was due on 

December 3, 2019; however, no opposition brief was filed. Accordingly, the Court hereby orders 

Mr. Wetle to show cause as to why his claims against Mr. Li should not be dismissed for failure to 

prosecute. The response to this order to show cause is due within one week of the date of this 

order. In the response, Mr. Wetle shall also address the merits of Mr. Li’s motion to dismiss. Mr. 

Wetle is forewarned that, if he does not timely file a response to the order to show cause, the Court 

shall dismiss the claims against Mr. Li with prejudice. In light of this order to show cause, the 

hearing on Mr. Li’s motion to dismiss is temporarily VACATED.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: December 6, 2019
