Plaintiffs,

13

On July 27, 2012, the Court held a hearing on Plaintiff’s motion to hold Defendants in

14

contempt. Defendant Galoust Papikian appeared on behalf of himself and, purportedly, on

15

behalf of his corporation. Defendants’ counsel, Steven Krongold did not appear at the hearing.

16

Although in previous filings, Mr. Krongold indicated that this hearing did not encompass the

17

scope of his representation, he has never formally sought to be relieved as counsel.

18

Accordingly, the Court HEREBY ORDERS Mr. Krongold to show cause why he should

19

not be sanctioned in the amount of $500.00 and be held responsible for a portion of the

20

attorneys’ fees that Levi Strauss & Company (“Levi Strauss”) seeks in connection with hits

21

motion. Mr. Krongold’s response shall be due by no later than August 8, 2012, so that he may

22

have the benefit of reviewing Levi Strauss’ request for attorneys’ fees before he responds to the

23

Order to Show Cause.
