A scheduling conference is set for December 5, 2024 in this matter. (ECF No. 3.) The
18
parties were ordered to file a joint scheduling report one full week prior to the scheduling
19
conference. (Id. at 2.) No joint report has been filed in this action.

Local Rule 110 provides that “[f]ailure of counsel or of a party to comply with these

21
Rules or with any order of the Court may be grounds for imposition by the Court of any and all
22

sanctions . . . within the inherent power of the Court.” The Court has the inherent power to

23
control its docket and may, in the exercise of that power, impose sanctions where appropriate,
24
including dismissal of the action. Bautista v. Los Angeles County, 216 F.3d 837, 841 (9th Cir.
25
2000).
26
The Court shall require the parties to show cause why monetary sanctions should not
27
issue for the failure to file a joint report in compliance with order setting the mandatory
28

1 scheduling conference.

4

monetary sanctions should not issue for the failure to file a joint scheduling report

5

as required by the September 13, 2024 order (ECF No. 3). The parties are advised

6

that filing the untimely joint scheduling report without showing cause in writing

7

why sanctions should not issue is an insufficient response to this order; and

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