TO SHOW CAUSE

16
17

On April 27, 2011, this Court issued an Order to Show Cause regarding Defendant’s failure

18

to file an opposition brief in this matter. Defendant was ordered to show cause in writing why

19

sanctions should not be imposed for a failure to comply with a Court order. (Doc. 19.)

20

On that same date, defense counsel filed a written response wherein she explained a recent

21

knee surgery and subsequent recovery had impacted her ability to fully return to work, and thus, to

22

fully comply with the Court’s orders and deadlines. (Doc. 20.) The Court accepts counsel’s

23

explanation, and notes that an opposition brief was filed on April 27, 2011. (See Doc. 21.)

24

For the reasons stated above, the order to show cause is HEREBY DISCHARGED.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
