No. 2:16-cv-02299-TLN-CKD (PS)

Plaintiff,
v.

ORDER

YAGHOUBIAN, et. al,
Defendant.

16
17

On June 8, 2017, this court ordered defendants Camp and Ahmed to show cause in

18

writing, no later than June 21, 2017, why the court should not (1) impose monetary sanctions in

19

the amount of $650.00 based upon their failure to serve responses to discovery propounded by

20

plaintiff on time, and (2) impose further sanctions against defendants based upon their failure to

21

follow court orders and their repeated failure to appear. (ECF No. 39.)

22

Defendants have failed to respond. Moreover, since filing their answer on December 16,

23

2016, (ECF No. 20), defendants have been wholly unresponsive to plaintiff and the court.

24

Therefore, the court finds that sanctions are appropriate at this juncture.

25

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

26

1. Within fourteen (14) days of this order, defendants Camp and Ahmed shall pay the

27

Clerk of Court $650.00 in sanctions based on their failure to comply with the court’s

28

prior orders.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
