16

This Court’s January 30, 2012 order required the parties, no later than February 29, 2012, to file

17

appropriate papers to dismiss or conclude this action, or to show good cause why the action has not been

18

dismissed. The parties have failed to file papers to comply with the January 30, 2012 order. This

19

Court’s Local Rule 11-110 provides that failure to comply with an order of this Court “may be grounds

20

for imposition by the Court of any and all sanctions authorized by statute or Rule or within the inherent

21

power of the Court.”

22

Accordingly, this Court ORDERS the parties, no later than March 9, 2012, to file papers to show

23

cause why sanctions, including dismissal of this action with or without prejudice and monetary sanctions

24

against counsel and/or the parties, should not be imposed for failure to comply with the January 30, 2012

25

order. This order to show cause will be discharged if, no later than March 9, 2012, papers are filed to

26

dismiss this action in its entirety.

27

Moreover, if the parties fail to complete settlement, this Court will explore resetting trial as soon

28

as possible and reassigning this action to another district judge, including one from the Sacramento
1

1

division or another district.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
