On December 8, 2023, the Court set a status conference in this matter for December 21, 2023, and ordered the parties to file a joint status report no later than December 18, 2023. (Doc. 55.)

Counsel Martens also failed to appear at the status conference on December 21, 2023. Accordingly, defense counsel Christopher Martens is HEREBY ORDERED to personally appear before the Court for a hearing on January 4, 2024, at 10:00 AM in Courtroom 8 (BAM) before the undersigned to show cause why sanctions should not be imposed for his failure to comply with the Court's order and his failure to appear at the status conference. Failure of counsel to appear before the Court on January 4, 2024, will result in the imposition of sanctions.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
