PRESENT: HONORABLE JOHN F. WALTER, UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
CIVIL MINUTES -- GENERAL
PROCEEDINGS (IN CHAMBERS): ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE WHY SANCTIONS SHOULD NOT BE IMPOSED FOR FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THE COURT'S ORDER
In the Court's Scheduling and Case Management Order (Docket No. 19) (“CMO”), the Court set March 4, 2024, as the last day to conduct a Settlement Conference, and March 8, 2024, as the last day to file a Joint Report Re: Results of Settlement Conference. The parties have violated the Court's CMO by failing to file a Joint Report Re: Results of Settlement Conference on or before March 8, 2024, and presumably by failing to complete the Settlement Conference by the Court ordered deadline of March 4, 2024.
Accordingly, the parties are ordered to show cause, in writing, by July 15, 2024, why the Court should not impose sanctions in the amount of $2,500.00 against lead counsel for each of the parties and dismiss this action for the violation of the Court's CMO. No oral argument on this matter will be heard unless otherwise ordered by the Court. See Fed.R.Civ.P. 78; Local Rule 715. The Order to Show Cause will stand submitted upon the filing of the response to the Order to Show Cause. Failure to respond to the Order to Show Cause will result in the imposition of sanctions and dismissal of this action.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
