United States District Court

Northern District of California

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

GODWIN GAMELI LADZEKPO,

Plaintiff,

v.

M. HRITZ, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 4:16-cv-01695-KAW 

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE TO 

DEFENDANTS

Re: Dkt. Nos. 14, 27

On August 3, 2016, Defendant California Highway Patrol (“CHP”) filed a motion to 

dismiss the action or transfer venue to the Eastern District of California, which was later joined by 

Officer M. Hritz. (Dkt. No. 14.) On October 12, 2016, the Court issued an order requiring 

Defendants to submit supplemental briefing, on or before October 24, 2016, to address the 

residency of the California Highway Patrol and Officer Hrtiz for the purposes of venue. (Dkt. No. 

27.) To date, Defendants have not filed a supplemental brief as ordered.

Accordingly, Defendants are ordered to show cause on or before October 28, 2016, to 

explain why they did not timely file a supplemental brief, and to file a supplemental brief that 

addresses the issues outlined in the October 12 order or, in the alternative, concedes that the CHP

and/or Officer Hritz are residents of the Northern District of California.

Failure to timely respond to this order to show cause will result in the denial of the pending 

motion to dismiss the action or transfer venue on the grounds that the CHP is deemed to reside in 

the Northern District.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: October 25, 2016
