ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

MARK THOMAS BAILEY d/b/a MADD
BAILEYS,

(Doc. No. 30)

Defendant.

On November 9, 2016, the court reopened discovery in this matter and denied the parties’

19

cross-motions for summary judgment without prejudice. (Doc. No. 30.) That order provided that

20

“[l]aw and motion is reopened so that renewed motions for summary judgment may be filed on

21

before Tuesday, February 7, 2017, and noticed for hearing in keeping with the Local Rules of this

22

court.” (Id. at 13.) This deadline for the filing of renewed motions for summary judgment has

23

long passed, but no such motions have been filed and the parties have not otherwise contacted the

24

court.

25

The court therefore orders the parties to show cause in writing by Monday, April 3, 2017

26

regarding why sanctions should not be imposed due to their failure to file renewed motions for

27

summary judgment. The parties are forewarned, that should they fail to respond to this order to

28

show cause in writing, as required by this order, sanctions will likely be imposed. See Chambers

the court to control its docket and require compliance with its orders); Ferdik v. Bonzelet, 963

F.2d 1258, 1260–61 (9th Cir. 1992) (dismissal for failure to comply with an order requiring

IT IS SO ORDERED.
