17

this lawsuit and whether they intend to secure counsel to represent them.

In addition, the order required that Defendants’ counsel, Scott S. Furstman, who had

19

submitted a notice of his suspension from practice, but had never sought a stay of this matter or

20

to withdraw formally from the case, show cause why sanctions in the amount of $1,000 should

21

not be assessed against him personally for his failure to provide the Court with adequate

22

information and to follow this Court’s order setting the case management which required the

23

appearance of lead counsel.

Having received the response from Mr. Furstman and the notice of appearance of

25

substitute counsel, Paul J. Derania, the Court HEREBY DISCHARGES the order to show

26

cause. No sanctions shall be assessed and the docket should reflect the substitution of counsel
