Case No.: 1:11-cv-01484 AWI JLT
ORDER TO PLAINTIFFS’ COUNSEL TO SHOW
CAUSE WHY SANCTIONS SHOULD NOT BE
IMPOSED FOR HIS FAILURE TO COMPLY
WITH THE COURT’S ORDERS.
ORDER REQUIRING FURTHER STATUS
REPORT

On August 19, 2016, the Court ordered counsel to file a joint status report and for plaintiffs’

17
18

counsel to file the petition for approval of the minor’s compromise by September 19, 2016. (Doc.

19

137) Counsel filed the joint report and advised the Court that plaintiffs’ counsel failed to provide the

20

payee data forms to the plaintiffs but that this has now occurred. (Doc. 138) However, there was no

21

discussion about the failure to file the petition for the minor’s compromise and the Court cannot

22

conceive of a reason why the failure to receive the payee data forms could act as an impediment to

23

filing the petition. Therefore, the Court ORDERS:
1.

24

No later than October 3, 2016, Plaintiffs’ counsel, Mark Ravis, SHALL show cause

25

in writing why the Court should not impose sanctions for his failure to comply with the Court’s orders.

26

Alternatively, by October 3, 2016, Mr. Ravis may file the stipulated petition for approval of the

27

minor’s compromise and set it for hearing before Judge Drozd as soon as possible;

No later than December 2, 2016, counsel SHALL file a joint report setting for the

status of the settlement.
