Opinion


Cohan v. Colvin No. CV 14-5367 FMO (MRW) United States District Court, Central District of California December 2, 2014

          IN CHAMBERS ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

          Honorable Michael R. Wilner, Judge

         Plaintiff filed a notice stating that the government’s lawyer (a) summarily refused to participate in good faith in a court-ordered settlement discussion with Plaintiff’s lawyer and (b) failed to comply with the Court’s briefing schedule. (Docket # 12.) Although the docket reveals that the matter was recently reassigned from one agency lawyer to another, there is no explanation in the record for the alleged misconduct.

         Let’s get one. SAUSA Wolking is ordered to show cause why the Court should not strike the government’s answer to the complaint and impose personal financial sanctions on its attorney based on the government’s failure to comply with the Court’s procedural order. SAUSA Wolking may discharge this OSC by submitting a sworn declaration (not to exceed 5 pages) by or before December 5 addressing these issues. The declaration will contain a statement that agency counsel consulted on this issue with a supervisor from the Civil Division of the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Los Angeles. After that, the Court will take the matter under submission.
