Opinion
Case No: 05cv0940-LAB (CAB).
November 14, 2006
Pursuant to Civil Local Rule 7.1(d)(1), the court finds the issues presented by defendant's Motion For A Limit On Communications With Putative Class Members And For Sanctions appropriate for decision on the papers and without oral argument. Accordingly, the matter is under submission, and the hearing presently scheduled for November 20, 2006 is off-calendar. In reviewing the pleadings and record in this case, the court is disturbed by what it considers unnecessary and gratuitous ad hominem arguments made by counsel. Counsel are hereby admonished to refrain from making unprofessional, acrimonious allegations against one another in all future filings in this case. The court will not hesitate to impose personal, monetary sanctions if such unprofessional behavior is repeated.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
