(IN CHAMBERS) ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE WHY SANCTIONS
SHOULD NOT BE IMPOSED

Under paragraph nine of the court's September 6, 2011 Case Management and
Scheduling Order, each party, either individually or jointly, was required to file a status
report no later than February 6, 2012. Defendant complied with this order through a
status report filed February 3, 2012. Plaintiff was reminded of this requirement by the
court in its January 19, 2012 Order Granting Defendant’s Motion to Compel. But over
two weeks have passed beyond the February 6 deadline, and plaintiff has failed to file
such a status report. Nor has plaintiff made any other communication with the court.
Plaintiff is therefore in violation of the court's order. As such, plaintiff is ordered to
submit the ordered status report and to show cause why sanctions should not be imposed
for failure to comply with the court order by March 6, 2012.
As provided in the court’s September 6, 2011 case management order, plaintiff’s
status report – which must now be filed by March 6, 2012 – must comply with the
following guidelines:
The status report shall contain the following information: (a) a summary of the
proceedings to date and a statement of the principal issue(s) raised by the case; (b)
a statement as to whether all parties have been served, and if not, a proposed
deadline by which service will be completed; (c) a statement as to whether other
parties will be added or amended pleadings will be filed, and if so, a proposed
deadline by which those steps will be taken; (d) a description of any discovery
completed, and a schedule for any future discovery; (e) a list of contemplated
motions, if any, along with proposed dates for the filing and hearing of such
motions; (f) an estimate of the time likely to be required for trial, and a statement
as to whether trial by jury is desired and has been properly requested; (g) a
description of any settlement negotiations that have occurred, and a
recommendation as to the form of settlement conference or other method of

alternative dispute resolution that would be most appropriate given the nature of
