On March 11, 2010, the Court issued a Second Scheduling Order, requiring the parties to

2 file separate pretrial statements in accordance with Local Rule 281. (Doc. 32.) Plaintiff was 3 ordered to file a pretrial statement on or before July 9, 2010. Id. The July 9, 2010 deadline has 4 passed, and Plaintiff has not filed a pretrial statement. Plaintiff has therefore waived his rights to 5 call witnesses or introduce evidence at trial. Local Rule 110 provides that "failure of counsel or 6 of a party to comply with these Local Rules or with any order of the Court may be grounds for 7 the imposition by the Court of any and all sanctions . . . within the inherent power of the Court." 8 Therefore, the Court shall vacate the trial, and Plaintiff is required to show cause why this case 9 should not be dismissed in its entirety. 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 IT IS SO ORDERED.
