Defendants.

Defendants removed the case to this court on July 23, 2012. See Notice of Removal, ECF No. 1.

17

On June 18, 2013, Orchard Supply Hardware filed a notice of filing of bankruptcy petition, that

18

effectively stayed this case. See ECF No. 33. To ensure that the case proceeded appropriately, the

19

court set a further case management conference for December 19, 2013, and directed the parties to

20

file a joint case management conference statement by December 12, 2013. The parties failed to

21

comply.

22

On December 13, 2013, the court issued a Clerk’s Notice regarding the parties’ failure to file

23

their joint case management conference statement. ECF No. 40. The court directed the parties to

24

file their joint case management conference statement by January 2, 2014. Again, neither party

25

complied. The court attempted to contact the parties on January 3, 2014. Later that day, Plaintiff

26

filed a case management conference statement. See ECF No. 41. Defendants again failed to

27

respond.

28

Accordingly, the court Orders Defendants to show cause why they should not be sanctioned for

failure to comply with the court’s directives. Defendants should address their failure to comply as
