Case No. 2:11-cv-02626-ODW(FFMx)
ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE RE
MEDIATION AND CONTINUING
PRETRIAL HEARING

1

The Court has received the parties’ mediation status report. (ECF No. 207.)

2

The parties are reminded that while they have an option as to the ADR method,

3

conducting an ADR procedure is mandatory. L.R. 16-15.1. Based on the parties’

4

representations, the Court finds the parties’ cavalier attitude troublesome, as

5

evidenced by their nonchalant disregard of the Court’s October 29, 2012 mediation

6

deadline.

7

Therefore, the parties are hereby ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE why each

8

attorney in this case should not be sanctioned $1,000 or more for ignoring the Court’s

9

orders. A written, joint response is due by January 14, 2013. No appearances are

10

necessary. Failure to timely respond may result in additional sanctions, including

11

dismissal or entry of default. This Order to Show Cause will be discharged upon

12

receipt of a status report indicating that a mediation session has been scheduled for no

13

later than February 6, 2013—since the parties have selected Settlement Procedure

14

No. 3. (Rule 26(f) Report ¶ 7.)

15

Further, to allow time for the parties to address their delinquencies, the pretrial

16

hearing is hereby continued to January 14, 2013 at 1:30 pm. Pretrial papers are now

17

due by December 28, 2012. Upon receipt of the parties’ response to this Order to

18

Show Cause, the Court may continue these pretrial dates to a later time.

19

IT IS SO ORDERED.
