GILBERT LOMAS,
Plaintiff,
v.
SUNBELT RENTALS, INC.,
Defendant.
Case No. 25-cv-08235-AMO
ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE
On January 16, 2026, the Court issued a Scheduling Order in the above-captioned case.
Dkt. No. 14. The Scheduling Order set January 20, 2026 as the deadline for (1) plaintiff to file its
Disclosure of Conflicts, Interested Entities and Persons, and Citizenship and (2) the parties to file
their ADR certifications. Id. at 1. The Scheduling Order also states:
The Court notes that the parties failed to take any action in response
to the ADR Clerk’s Notice issued January 2, 2026, which alerted the
parties of their failure to file the ADR Certification required by
ADR L.R. 3-5(b). Dkt. No. 11. Failure to act in compliance with
this order will result in sanctions.
Id. at 1 n.1.
Notwithstanding the above, Plaintiff has yet to comply. He has submitted neither of the
filings due January 20, 2026. Defendant, however, has filed its ADR certification, though on
January 21, 2026 instead of January 20, 2026. Dk. No. 16. Given Plaintiff’s continued non-
compliance, he is ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE why he should not be sanctioned for failure to
comply with the Court’s January 20, 2026 deadline.
