No. 2:16-cv-0586 CKD

v.

ORDER

HARWINDER BISLA, et al.,

15

Defendants.

16
17
The present case has been continually delayed due to defendant Harwinder Bisla’s failure

18
19

to respond to court orders. On August 21, 2019, defendant did not appear for a final pretrial

20

conference in this matter and did not file a joint status report, as ordered by the court, and the

21

court subsequently ordered defendant to show cause as to why sanctions, such as default and

22

having his answer stricken, should not be entered. (ECF No. 44.) The court ordered reservice of

23

this order to show cause to a new address defendant listed and to his email. (ECF No. 45.)

24

Defendant again failed to respond to this order or contact the court in any way.
At this point, the court concludes that the appropriate sanctions are for default to be

25
26

entered and defendant’s answer be stricken.
