The pretrial conference in this action was set for January 23, 2013 at 8:30 a.m. Doc. 65,
17
4:27-5:10. Pursuant to Local Rule 281(a), the final date on which the parties could file a pretrial
18
statement was not less than seven (7) days before the pretrial conference hearing date. No
19
pretrial statement has been filed to date. Local Rule 280(a) provides that “counsel shall proceed
20
with reasonable diligence to take all steps necessary to bring an action to issue and readiness for
21
pretrial conference and trial.” The parties are in violation of the Local Rules.
22
The Court has the inherent power to control its docket and may, in the exercise of that
23
power, impose sanctions where appropriate. Bautista v. Los Angeles County, 216 F.3d 837, 841
24
(9th Cir. 2000). Court may impose sanctions for violating court orders and the Local Rules. See
25
Ghazali v. Moran, 46 F.3d 52, 53-54 (9th Cir. 1995) (sanction for noncompliance with local
26
rule); Malone v. U.S. Postal Service, 833 F.2d 128, 130 (9th Cir. 1987) (sanction for failure to
27
comply with court order); Fed. Rule Civ. Proc. 16(f)(1) (requiring compliance with scheduling
28
orders).
