(ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE)

By Order dated October 26, 2015, the parties were advised that a mediation must be concluded no later than July
25, 2016. On December 1, 2015, a Notice of Mediation Date was filed advising the parties that a mediation was
scheduled for Friday, January 22, 2016, at 2:00 p.m. A Mediation Report was filed on January 25, 2016, by the
ADR Director, indicating that defendant did not appear at the scheduled mediation. On January 26, 2016,
defendant Roosevelt Biel was ordered to show cause, no later than February 8, 2016, why monetary sanctions
should not be imposed on him for failure to comply with this Court’s Order. To date, defendant has not
responded to the order to show cause in any manner. In these circumstances, the Court finds that monetary
sanctions are warranted.
Accordingly, no later than March 11, 2016, defendant shall pay to the Clerk of the Court the sum of
$100.00 as a sanction for failing to comply with this Court’s Order by not appearing for the January 22, 2016,
mediation.
