The court previously approved the parties’ second stipulation to extend the date for

19

plaintiff to file his motion for summary judgment and ordered plaintiff to file his motion by

20

21

motion for summary judgment. Local Rule 110 provides that failure to comply with the Local

22

Rules “may be grounds for imposition by the Court of any and all sanctions authorized by statute

23

or Rule or within the inherent power of the Court.”

24

Accordingly, good cause appearing, it hereby ORDERED that:

25

1. Plaintiff shall show cause, in writing, within fourteen days of the date of this order,

26

why sanctions should not be imposed for failure to timely file a motion for summary judgment.
2. Plaintiff shall file his motion for summary judgment within fourteen days of the date of
this order.
