Proceedings: (In Chambers) ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE FOR FAILURE TO FILE JOINT 26(F) REPORT
On July 12, 2011, the Court set a scheduling conference for October 3, 2011, and ordered counsel to "file a Joint 26(f) Report . . . no later than 14 days before the date set for the scheduling conference." (Doc. 10 ¶ 1.) Parties were also ordered to submit a "completed ADR-01 'Settlement Procedure Selection' Form and Order" along with their joint 26(f) Report. (Id. ¶ 1(k).) Pursuant to the Court's discretion under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 83, failure to submit a Joint Rule 26(f) Report may result in the Court dismissing the case, entering a default, and/or imposing sanctions.
On its own motion, the Court hereby orders counsel to show cause why the Court should not dismiss this action, enter a default, and/or impose sanctions for counsel's failure to submit a Joint Rule 26(f) Report and completed ADR-01 Form and Order. No later than September 23, 2011, counsel shall submit a Joint Rule 26(f) Report, a completed ADR-01 Form and Order, and a separate written response explaining why counsel has failed to comply with the Court's filing deadlines.
