ORDER FOR WELLS FARGO TO SHOW CAUSE
WILLIAM ALSUP, District Judge.
The Court has received plaintiff's request for an order to show cause and reviewed the letter sent by defendant Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. to affected customers (Dkt. No. 14). The letter fails to address the scenario in which the customer cashes the enclosed check but does not wish to participate in mediation with respect to any further claims against Wells Fargo. The Court is concerned that Wells Fargo will argue that cashing the check in such circumstances constitutes an acceptance of Wells Fargo's "offer" and thereby settles and releases all claims the customer may have or requires that all such claims be funnelled through mandatory mediation.
A hearing on this issue, and the other issues raised in plaintiff's request for an order to show cause (Dkt. No. 14), will be held on JANUARY 3 AT 10:00 A.M. Because Wells Fargo has not yet appeared in this action, plaintiff shall serve this order on Wells Fargo in the same manner in which the complaint and summons have been served. Plaintiff shall effect service by DECEMBER 20 AT 5:00 P.M. Wells Fargo may file a response to the request for an order to show cause by DECEMBER 31 AT NOON.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
