PROCEEDINGS: (IN CHAMBERS) ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE RE:
DISMISSAL FOR FAILURE TO FILE MEMORANDA OF
CONTENTIONS OF FACT AND LAW
The Final Pretrial Conference in this case is currently set for February 3, 2023 at
10:30 a.m. (See Doc. 21.) Pursuant to the Court’s Civil Trial Order and Local Rule 16-4,
counsel were required to serve and file their Memoranda of Contentions of Facts and Law
no later than twenty-one (21) days before the final pretrial conference. (See C.D. Cal.
L.R. 16-4; Civil Trial Order at 3, Doc. 22.) The Civil Trial Order expressly states that
“[s]trict compliance with the requirements of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and
the Local Rules is mandatory.” (Civil Trial Order at 3.) Although these Memoranda
were due by January 13, 2023, neither party has filed the document.
The parties are therefore ORDERED to show cause, in writing, why the Court
should not dismiss this matter for failure to prosecute and/or issue sanctions for the
failure to timely file the Memoranda of Contentions of Fact and Law. Failure to respond
adequately within five (5) days of this Order will result in dismissal of this action and/or
monetary sanctions. Alternatively, a properly filed Notice of Dismissal will be sufficient
to discharge this order to show cause.
