ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

Plaintiff filed a discovery motion that is not in the joint format mandated under the Local
Rules. (Docket # 29.) The motion is accompanied by a statement that indicates that the selfrepresented Defendants (Enrique and Carmen Diaz) failed to confer in accordance with this
Court’s Local Rule 37-1. (Docket # 29-2.)
A party’s failure to file a required document within a deadline set by local rule or to
cooperate in the submission of a joint discovery motion “may be deemed consent to the granting
[ ] of the motion.” Local Rule 7-12. Therefore, Defendants are ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE
for the failure to comply with the joint filing process and to submit a substantive response to the
discovery motion by October 20, at 12:00 p.m. If the Court does not receive any submission,
the motion will be granted as unopposed under local rule without further proceedings. The
Court will also award expenses to the moving party as required under Federal Rule of Civil
Procedure 37(a)(5).
