On May 5, 2015, the court issued a standing order. ECF No. 3-1. In the order, the

22

parties were directed to engage in a meet and confer prior to filing a motion. Id. The meet and

23

confer directive was designed to have the parties discuss thoroughly the substance of the

24

contemplated motion and any potential resolution. ECF No. 3-1 at 3. After meeting and

25

confering, if a party still desired to file a motion, that party was directed to file a notice of motion

26

containing “a certification by counsel filing the motion that meet and confer efforts have been

27

exhausted, with a brief summary of meet and confer efforts.” Id.

On August 28, 2015, defendants filed a motion to dismiss plaintiff’s third amended

2

complaint. ECF No. 23. Defendants, however, failed to file a notice of motion containing a

3

certification indicating that meet and confer efforts have been exhausted. Thus, defendants did

4

not comply with the court’s standing order.

5

Accordingly, defendants’ counsel is hereby ORDERED, within seven (7) days of

6

entry of this order, to show cause why they should not be sanctioned in the amount of $250 for

7

failure to comply with this court’s order.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
