ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE WHY COUNSEL SHOULD
NOT BE SANCTIONED AND THIS ACTION SHOULD
NOT BE DISMISSED FOR FAILURE TO CONDUCT
SETTLEMENT CONFERENCE

On March 26, 2013, the Court ordered the parties to participate in ADR Procedure No. 3
(Private Mediation) and set July 8, 2013 as the deadline to complete the mediation. Pursuant to
the Court's Scheduling and Case Management Order filed on March 26, 2013, the Court ordered
the parties to file a Joint Report re: Results of Settlement Conference on or before July 15, 2013.
The parties have violated the Court’s order by failing to file the Joint Report re: Results of
Settlement Conference on or before July 15, 2013, and presumably by failing to complete the
private mediation by the Court ordered deadline of July 8, 2013.
Accordingly, the parties are ordered to show cause in writing by November 8, 2013 why the
Court should not impose sanctions in the amount of $2,500.00 against each lead counsel for their
violation of the Court’s order and why this action should not be dismissed. No oral argument on
this matter will be heard unless otherwise ordered by the Court. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 78; Local Rule
7-15. The Order to Show Cause will stand submitted upon the filing of the response to the Order
to Show Cause. Failure to respond to the Order to Show Cause will result in the imposition of
sanctions and the dismissal of this action.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
