Ross v. Bar None Enterprises, Inc.

Filing 30

ORDER signed by Judge Kimberly J. Mueller on 7/8/2014 ORDERING that the corrected settlement agreement is now on record and plaintiff's motion for preliminary approval is submitted. The court will issue an order on the matter in due course. Gi ven counsel's prompt filing of the corrected agreement once reminded by the court, the court declines to impose sanctions. Counsel is cautioned however that future failures to comply with court orders are unlikely to be met with such restraint. (Zignago, K.)

ROBERT ROSS,
Plaintiff,
v.
BAR NONE ENTERPRISES, INC.,

ORDER

Defendant.

16
17
18

On June 30, 2014, the court issued an order to show cause directing counsel for

19

plaintiff to show cause why sanctions should not be imposed for their failure to comply with the

20

court’s June 20, 2014 minute order requiring plaintiff to submit a corrected settlement agreement

21

within one week. ECF No. 28.

22

On July 3, 2014, counsel for plaintiff filed a declaration attaching a corrected

23

stipulation of class action settlement. ECF No. 29. The corrected settlement agreement is now on

24

record and plaintiff’s motion for preliminary approval is submitted. The court will issue an order

25

on the matter in due course.

26

With regard to the court’s order to show cause, plaintiff’s counsel’s declaration

27

does not explain his failure to timely file a corrected settlement agreement. ECF No. 29. Given

28

counsel’s prompt filing of the corrected agreement once reminded by the court, the court declines
1

1

to impose sanctions. Counsel is cautioned however that future failures to comply with court

2

orders are unlikely to be met with such restraint.
