The Court orders the following after review of the case.

The case was scheduled for a 7/7/26 Case Management Conference re: mediation completion. Pursuant to the trial setting order, parties were to complete mediation no later than the date of this Case Management Conference.

Based on the plaintiff's Case Management Statement, it appears that the parties have not participated in mediation.

Accordingly, the Court sets a hearing for an ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE in re $800 SANCTIONS for failure to comply with the Court's trial setting order. Cal. Rules of Court, rules 2.30, 3.1340, 3.725; Code Civ. Proc. §§ 177.5, 575.2, 583.150, 583.360, 583.410, 583.420, 583.430; Govt. Code § 68608. All parties are ordered to show cause why the Court should not impose monetary sanctions in the amount of $800 (each party) for failing to participate in and complete mediation as ordered by the Court.

WRITTEN OBJECTION/RESPONSE to the ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE as to the reasons that sanctions should not be imposed must be filed no later than 8/25/26. The WRITTEN OBJECTION should set forth meet and confer efforts re mediation, the date of mediation, and the mediator's name. FAILURE to timely file a WRITTEN OBJECTION/RESPONSE or a FAILURE to APPEAR at the hearing may result in SANCTIONS of $800 per each party.

Copies of the written responses shall be emailed to the department clerk concurrent with their filing.

If the parties complete mediation PRIOR to the date above and filed a timely WRITTEN OBJECTION/RESPONSE to the ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE, the order to show cause may be discharged. If parties fail to do so or fail to show good cause why mediation was not held, monetary sanctions of $800 per party may issue.
