Patrick Allen Cannavan v. County of Ventura, et al.
Present: The Honorable Fernando M. Olguin, United States District Judge
CIVIL MINUTES - GENERAL
Proceedings: (In Chambers) Order to Show Cause Re: Sanctions or Dismissal
Pursuant to the Court's Order of January 26, 2021 (“Case Management Order”), the parties were required to complete a settlement conference before a private mediator no later than July 26, 2021. (See Dkt. 36, Case Management Order at 17). If the case settled, the parties were required to file a Notice of Settlement no later than 24 hours after settlement. (See id.). Otherwise, the parties were required to file a Status Report Re: Settlement no later than 48 hours after the settlement conference was complete. (See id.). The court subsequently granted three requests from the parties to extend the deadline to complete a settlement conference. (See Dkt. 55, Court's Order of July 14, 2021); (Dkt. 65, Court's Order of September 30, 2021); (Dkt. 70, Court's Order of November 29, 2021). The current deadline to complete a settlement conference was December 30, 2021. (See Dkt. 70, Court's Order of November 29, 2021).
As of the filing date of this Order, neither a Notice of Settlement nor a Status Report Re: Settlement has been filed. (See, generally, Dkt.). Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT, no later than January 18, 2022, the parties shall show cause in writing why sanctions should not be imposed for failure to comply with the Court's Case Management Order and Order of November 29, 2021. Failure to submit a response to this Order by the deadline set forth above may result in the imposition of sanctions and/or dismissal of this action for lack of prosecution. See Fed.R.Civ.P. 41(b); Link v. Wabash R.R. Co., 370 U.S. 626, 629-30, 82 S.Ct. 1386, 1388 (1962); Pagtalunan v. Galaza, 291 F.3d 639, 642 (9th Cir. 2002), cert. denied, 538 U.S. 909 (2003).
