Failure to respond to this Order by 28 June 10, 2011 shall result in dismissal of this matter without prejudice and an assessment of 1 2 3 4 sanctions against counsel in the amount of $1,000. Further, the hearing date on Defendants’ motion for summary judgment for June 10, 2011, is HEREBY VACATED. IT IS SO ORDERED. 5 6 Dated: May 31, 2011 JEFFREY S.
