ORDER DISCHARGING ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE
(Doc. No. 10)
BARBARA A. McAULIFFE, Magistrate Judge.
On February 19, 2020, the Court issued an Order to Show Cause directing counsel for Defendants ABM General Services, Inc. and Flowers Baking Co. of Modesto, LLC to show cause in writing why sanctions should not be imposed for the failure to appear at the initial scheduling conference. (Doc. 10.) On the same day, counsel Alexander Chemers filed a written response to the show cause order. In his response, Mr. Chemers details his efforts to attend the conference on February 19, 2020, by dialing in to the telephonic conference line at 9:00 a.m. Mr. Chemers also provides supporting documents demonstrating his efforts to appear at that time. (Doc. 12.)
The continued Scheduling Conference in this matter was set for February 19, 2020 at 8:30 a.m., and the date and time were clearly delineated on the Court's docket.1 (Doc. 5.) Mr. Chemers' response does not explain why he was unable to appear at the designated time or why he apparently believed the conference was at 9:00 a.m. Nevertheless, Mr. Chemers also explains that he inadvertently missed the conference call and apologizes for any inconvenience. (Doc. 12.)
Having considered the response, the Order to Show Cause is HEREBY DISCHARGED. No sanctions shall be imposed at this time.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
