The failure of one or more of the parties to participate in the
preparation of a joint status report does not excuse the other party(ies) from
its obligation to timely file a status report in accordance with this Order.
In the event a party fails to participate as ordered, the party timely
submitting a status report shall include a declaration explaining why it was
unable to obtain the cooperation of the other party(ies).
