Jellison v. Shasta County

CASE NUMBER: 25CV-0208476 Tentative Ruling on Order to Show Cause: On June 24, 2026, the Court issued an Order to Show Cause Re: Sanctions to Plaintiff Talea Jellison and Counsel Larry L. Baumbach for failure to appear on May 1, 2026 as ordered on February 26, 2026 and failure to appear on June 5, 2026 as ordered on May 1, 2026. Notice of the May 1, 2026 hearing was provided by the Court in the Order of Assignment dated February 26, 2026, which was mailed to counsel on February 26, 2026. When Plaintiff did not appear on May 1, 2026, the Court continued the matter to June 5, 2026.

Per the Notice of Further Trial Setting Conference filed on May 5, 2026, Plaintiff was provided notice of the June 5, 2026 hearing on May 4, 2026. Plaintiff has not filed a written response to the Order to Show Cause. Without sufficient excuse for failing to appear at two properly noticed hearings, monetary sanctions are imposed in the amount of $250 against Plaintiff and Counsel. The clerk is directed to issue an Order of Sanctions.

Tentative Ruling on Review Hearing: This matter is on calendar for a status conference. The Court notes that the matter is at issue and appears to be ready to be set for trial. Defendant has posted jury fees and Plaintiff has waived the right to a jury by not posting within ten days of June 5, 2026. The parties are ordered to meet and confer prior to the hearing regarding proposed dates for trial. The Court intends to set a Mandatory Settlement Conference, a trial date, and a trial readiness hearing on the Butte Exchange that precedes the selected trial date. An appearance is necessary on today’s calendar. Plaintiff’s failure to appear will result in the issuance of an Order to Show Cause Re: Dismissal for failing to appear on May 1, 2026, June 5, 2026, and August 7, 2026 and failure to timely prosecute.
