ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE WHY SANCTIONS
SHOULD NOT BE IMPOSED AND WHY THE
DISCOVERY STAY SHOULD NOT BE LIFTED
FOR FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THE
COURT'S ORDER

On February 4, 2015, the Court granted counsel’s stipulation to stay discovery and granted

17

time to advise the Court whether the parties wanted a settlement conference. (Doc. 61) At that

18

time, counsel reported they were in settlement negotiations and would notify the Court by the

19

end of February whether they desired a settlement conference. (Doc. 60) They have not done so.

20

Therefore, within 14 days, the Court ORDERS counsel for both sides to show cause why

21

sanctions, up to and including an order dismissing the action or an order striking the answer and

22

entering default, should not be imposed and why the discovery stay should not be lifted due to

23

their failure to comply with the Court’s orders. Alternatively, the parties may provide the

24

information previously ordered within the same 14-day period.

25
IT IS SO ORDERED.
