John Ho v. May Ku
Present: The Honorable DOLLY M. GEE, UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
CIVIL MINUTES-GENERAL
Proceedings: IN CHAMBERS - ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE AND NOTICE TO ALL PARTIES
On December 13, 2021, the Court issued an Order setting a Scheduling Conference in this case [Doc. # 13]. That Order required the parties to file a Joint Rule 26(f) Report and warned that "[t]he failure to submit a joint report in advance of the Scheduling Conference . . . may result in the dismissal of the action, striking the answer and entering a default, and/or the imposition of sanctions." Id. at 4.
On January 18, 2022, Plaintiff filed a unilateral Rule 26(f) report. Defendant is ordered to show cause, in a written response filed by no later than January 25, 2022, why sanctions should not be imposed for his failure to cooperate in the filing of the joint report. Failure to timely file a written response to this Order will result in the striking of Defendant's Answer and entry of default. The filing of a proper Joint Rule 26(f) Report by the above deadline will be deemed an adequate response.
The January 28, 2022 Scheduling Conference is VACATED and will be rescheduled if necessary.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
