PROCEEDINGS: (IN CHAMBERS) ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE (“OSC”)
On November 10, 2016, the Court set a scheduling conference for January 6,
2017, and ordered counsel to “file a Joint 26(f) Report . . . no later than 14 days before
the date set for the scheduling conference.” (Doc. 8 ¶ 1.) The parties failed to comply
with the Court’s Order. 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. No later than
January 5, 2017, 12:00 p.m., counsel shall submit a Joint Rule 26(f) Report and a
separate written response explaining why counsel has failed to comply with the Court’s
filing deadlines.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
