PROCEEDINGS: (IN CHAMBERS) ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE (“OSC”) and
VACATING SCHEDULING CONFERENCE
On February 23, 2015, the Court set a scheduling conference for May 1, 2015, and
ordered counsel to “file a Joint 26(f) Report . . . no later than 14 days before the date
set for the scheduling conference.” (Doc. 19 ¶ 1.) Parties were also ordered to submit a
“completed ADR-01 ‘Settlement Procedure Selection’ Form” along with their joint 26(f)
Report. (Id. ¶ 1(k).) Pursuant to the Court’s discretion under Federal Rule of Civil
Procedure 37(b)(2)(A)(v)-(vii), failure to submit a Joint Rule 26(f) Report may result in
the Court dismissing the case, entering a default, and/or finding the parties in contempt of
court for failure to obey a court order.
On its own motion, therefore, the Court hereby orders counsel to show cause why
the Court should not dismiss this action, enter a default, and/or find the parties in
contempt for counsel’s failure to submit a Joint Rule 26(f) Report and completed ADR01 form. No later than May 1, 2015, counsel shall submit a Joint Rule 26(f) Report, a
completed ADR-01 form, and a separate written response explaining why counsel has
failed to comply with the Court’s filing deadlines.
The Court VACATES the May 1, 2015 Scheduling Conference.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
