On January 29, 2016, the court ordered plaintiff’s counsel, Allen Hassan, to pay counsel

for defendants Edward Bonner, the Placer County Sheriff’s Office, and County of Placer the

22

reasonable expenses they incurred in bringing a motion to compel discovery. ECF No. 74; see

ECF No. 64. The order provided that the sanction was personal to Mr. Hassan and was not to be

24

passed on to his client in the form of attorney fees or costs. Mr. Hassan was therefore directed to

25

notify his client in writing of the sanction order and to provide plaintiff with a copy of the order.

Mr. Hassan was also ordered to file within 21 days a declaration that his client had been so

27

informed. Id. at 2.
