Background
On June 20, 2019, the court granted Scott Johnson's unopposed request to stay the case while the Ninth Circuit considered appeals in two similar cases. The stay order required the parties to file a joint status report within 14 days after those appeals were resolved, identifying any issues remaining in this matter.
The Ninth Circuit issued decisions in both appeals on June 17, 2020. The court's order states that the appellate court affirmed grants of summary judgment for the defendants in those cases. The dockets showed that the Ninth Circuit issued its mandate in each appeal on August 5, 2020. More than 14 days passed without the parties filing the required joint status report.
Order
The court ordered the parties to file, by Friday, September 4, 2020, a joint report summarizing any issues remaining in Scott Johnson v. Starbucks Corporation. The court stated that failure to comply could be grounds for monetary sanctions, dismissal, entry of judgment, or another appropriate sanction.
Judge Alex Tse's order addressed case management and compliance with the earlier stay order. It did not decide the merits of the underlying claims or state that the case was dismissed or that judgment was entered.
