Plaintiff,

MARK SCOTT SHEPARD, et al.,
Defendants.

Case No. 1:22-cv-01280-SAB
ORDER REQUIRING PARTIES TO SHOW
CAUSE IN WRITING WHY SANCTIONS
SHOULD NOT ISSUE FOR FAILURE TO FILE
DISPOSITIONAL DOCUMENTS BY COURT
ORDERED DEADLINE
(ECF No. 31)
DEADLINE: FEBRUARY 9, 2024

18

On January 25, 2024, Plaintiff filed a notice of settlement of this action and requested that

19

the Court grant Plaintiff until February 1, 2024 to file dispositional documents. (ECF No. 30.)

20

The Court found good cause to set the deadline on February 1, 2024, as requested. (ECF No. 31.)

21

The deadline to file dispositional documents has now expired and the parties have not

22

done so, nor requested an extension of time from the Court. Local Rule 110 provides that

23

“[f]ailure of counsel or of a party to comply with these Rules or with any order of the Court may

24

be grounds for imposition by the Court of any and all sanctions … within the inherent power of

25

the Court.” The Court has the inherent power to control its docket and may, in the exercise of

26

that power, impose sanctions where appropriate, including dismissal of the action. Bautista v.

27

Los Angeles Cnty., 216 F.3d 837, 841 (9th Cir. 2000). The Court shall require the parties to

28

show cause why sanctions should not issue for the failure to file dispositional documents in
1

1

compliance with the Court’s order issued January 26, 2024.

2

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

3

1.

The parties shall show cause in writing no later than February 9, 2024, why

4

sanctions should not issue for the failure to file dispositional documents as

5

required by the January 26, 2024, order (ECF No. 31); and

6

2.

Failure to comply with this order will result in the issuance of sanctions.
