ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

JOHN CUCKLER, M.D., et al.,
Defendants.

16

After this case was transferred to this district, the court issued an order setting a status

17

(pretrial scheduling) conference for October 16, 2019. ECF No. 64. That order also directed the

18

parties to file a status reports within fourteen days of the scheduled conference or, in this instance,

19

by October 2, 2019. Id.

20

That deadline has passed and none of the parties have filed status reports. Accordingly,

21

the parties are ordered to show cause why they should not be sanctioned for their failure to

22

comply with the court’s order. See E.D. Cal. L.R. 110 (“Failure of counsel or of a party to

23

comply with these Rules or with any order of the Court may be grounds for imposition by the

24

Court of any and all sanctions authorized by statute or Rule or within the inherent power of the

25

Court.”); see also E.D. Cal. L.R. 183 (“Any individual representing himself or herself without an

26

attorney is bound by the Federal Rules of Civil or Criminal Procedure and by these Local

27

Rules.”); Ghazali v. Moran, 46 F.3d 52, 53 (9th Cir. 1995) (“Failure to follow a district court’s

28

local rules is a proper ground for dismissal.”).
