Case No.: 1:16-cv-00906-AWI -JLT
ORDER EXTENDING THE DEADLINE TO FILE
THE DISMISSAL DOCUMENTS
ORDER TO THE DEFENDANTS TO SHOW
CAUSE WHY SANCTIONS SHOULD NOT BE
IMPOSED FOR THEIR FAILURE TO EXECUTE
THE DISMISSAL DOCUMENTS

17

On July 14, 2017, the Court ordered the parties to file a stipulated dismissal no later than

18

August 4, 2017, based upon their representation that the matter had settled. (Doc. 27) Now, the

19

plaintiff reports that it has had difficulty in obtaining a signed stipulation from the incarcerated

20

defendants to dismiss the case1. (Doc. 28) Thus, the Court ORDERS:

21

1.

The stipulation to dismiss the action SHALL be filed no later than September 8, 2017;

22

2.

No later than August 25, 2017, the defendants SHALL show cause in writing why

23

sanctions, up to and including striking their answers and entering default against them, should not be

24

imposed for their failure to comply with the Court’s orders. Alternatively, by the same date, they

25

SHALL execute the dismissal documents and provide them to plaintiff’s counsel.

In future, the plaintiff SHALL provide a proposed order that contains a case caption. Providing language on pleading
paper without the caption is insufficient to comply with Local Rule 137.

The defendants are advised that failure to comply with this order may result in the Court
imposing sanctions, including the dismissal of the action.
