JOEL RICHARDSON, Plaintiff, v. TESLA INC., et al., Defendants.
ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE
RITA F. LIN UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
A joint case management statement was due in this action on May 29, 2024, and a case management conference was scheduled for June 5, 2024, at 10:00 a.m. (Dkt. No. 26.) On May 29, Defendants filed a case management statement and corresponding declaration. (Dkt. No. 27.) Defendants' counsel represented that Plaintiff prepared a draft case management statement on May 8 and that, despite at least two attempts, they have since been unable to reach Plaintiff's counsel. (Dkt. No. 27-1.) Without leave of Court or notice to any of the parties, Plaintiff's counsel also failed to appear at the case management conference on June 5 in violation of the Court's Standing Order and Civil Local Rule 16-10(a). Accordingly, Plaintiff is ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE, in writing, by June 12, 2024, explaining (1) why Plaintiff did not submit a joint case management statement, (2) why Plaintiff's counsel was absent from the case management conference, and (3) why this case should not be dismissed for failure to prosecute. Failure to comply with this order may result in the dismissal of this action without further notice. See Fed.R.Civ.P. 41(b).
IT IS SO ORDERED.
