ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE WHY SANCTIONS SHOULD
NOT BE IMPOSED FOR FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH
THE COURT’S ORDER

In the Court’s Scheduling and Case Management Order (“CMO”), the Court set January 9,
2023 as the last day to conduct a Settlement Conference, and January 13, 2023 as the last day to
file a Joint Report Re: Results of Settlement Conference. Based on the Joint Status Report of
Settlement Conference/Mediation, it appears that the parties have violated the Court's CMO by
failing to complete the Settlement Conference by the Court ordered deadline of January 9, 2023.
Accordingly, lead counsel for the parties are ordered to show cause in writing by January
20, 2023 why the Court should not dismiss this action or impose sanctions in the amount of
$2,500.00 against each lead counsel for violating the Court’s CMO. No oral argument on this
matter will be heard unless otherwise ordered by the Court. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 78; Local Rule 715. 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 dismissal of this
action and imposition of sanctions.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
