Defendant.

17

In a minute order issued November 12, 2013, the court set a final pretrial

18

conference in the above-captioned matter. ECF No. 59. Although plaintiff’s counsel Steven

19

Whitworth filed a joint pretrial statement on January 10, 2014, ECF No. 61, he failed to appear

20

at the January 23, 2014 conference. During the conference, defendants’ counsel also

21

represented to the court that the statement Mr. Whitworth filed did not bear her signature and

22

included changes to which she had not agreed.

23

Accordingly, Mr. Whitworth is ordered to show cause within seven (7) days of

24

the date of this order why he should not be sanctioned in the amount of $500.00 for failure to

25

appear and for falsely representing to the court that the statement was jointly filed.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
DATED: January 24, 2014.
