COUNTY OF PLUMAS, et al.,

Pursuant to the order filed February 8, 2017, the parties were ordered to file a joint status

17
18

report addressing the dental care issues on or before May 1, 2017. (ECF No. 85.)
On May 1, 2017, plaintiffs filed a status report stating that defendants failed to respond to

19
20

their repeated inquiries regarding the status of the dental care issues. (ECF No. 87.) On May 1,

2017, defendants filed a status report stating that, due to short staffing in the Plumas County

22

Counsel’s Office, defendants’ counsel has not been in a position to work with plaintiff’s counsel

23

on the issues related to dental care. (ECF No. 88.) However, defendants’ counsel does not

24

address why he failed to timely communicate that fact to plaintiffs’ counsel or the court,

25

otherwise respond to plaintiffs’ counsel, or seek an extension of time from the court.

26

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

27

1. A telephonic status conference is set before the undersigned for May 10, 2017, at 10:00

28

a.m.;
1

1

2. At the telephonic status conference, defendants’ counsel shall be prepared to address

2

why sanctions of $500 should not be imposed for his failure to participate in the preparation of

3

the joint status report regarding dental care, or otherwise seek an extension of time of that

4

deadline from the court.
