On August 2, 2017, the Court set a scheduling conference for September 22, 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. 27 ¶ 1.) 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). No later than October 6,
2017, 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.
The Court CONTINUES the September 22, 2017 Scheduling Conference to
