Legal Question in Business Law in California

You're in deep trouble. Being your own attorney is proving to be a disaster.

You are required to appear at all Case Management Conferences, and any other hearings ordered by the court. The court has set an Order to Show Cause (OSC) and is looking for a written explanation of your failure to attend or participate in the previously scheduled CMC. If you fail to file a response and/ or fail to show up, the court will more than likely order your answer stricken and your default will be entered.

For pete's sake, the court sends you notice that the case will be dismissed upon the occurrence of some event, and you ask if that means the case will be dismissed.

YES, it will be dismissed if proper action is not taken. What that action is can be determined from your post and the court notice. You said you are a defendant, that you filed an Answer, but did not appear at CMC, leading the court to give you clear notice that your Answer will be stricken and YOUR side of the case will be dismissed, thus allowing a default judgment to be issued against you, unless you straighten this out.

It is clear you do not understand any of the court rules and procedures. You should promptly hire an attorney who does, to avoid a default judgment against you.

If serious about hiring counsel to help in this, and if this is in SoCal courts, feel free to contact me. I�ll be happy to help fight and get the best outcome possible, using whatever defenses and sympathies there may be. I�ve been doing these litigation cases for many years.
