March 19, 2007
ORDER
On February 22, 2007, the court ordered defendant Lisa Belleci to show cause by March 16, 2007 why sanctions should not issue for the failure to file a timely status report. Previously, on January 5, 2007, the court granted a motion to withdraw filed by defendants' counsel and instructed defendants to inform the court within 30 days of their intention to proceed pro se, or of the name of their new counsel. The defendants also neglected to comply with this order.
The order to show cause should have been directed at and served upon both defendant Lisa Bellecci and defendant Mark Petrie. The February 22, 2007 order also continued the status conference to April 2, 2007. Defendant Petrie was not served with the February 22, 2007 order until March 16, 2007, by mail.
Accordingly, the court hereby orders as follows:
1. Defendant Lisa Belleci and Mark Petrie are hereby ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE in writing by April 13, 2007 why sanctions should not issue in the above-captioned case in the amount of One Hundred Fifty Dollars ($150) each, as permitted by Local Rule 11-110, for the failure to file a timely status report.
2. The status conference currently set for April 2, 2007 is hereby CONTINUED to April 23 at 2:30 p.m.
3. The clerk's office is directed to serve a copy of this order on:
Lisa Belleci
157 Terrybrook Lane
Vallejo, CA 94591
Mark Petrie
