Before the Court is the parties’ Updated Joint Case Management Statement, filed

The Court notes that the joint statement is untimely, and, indeed, was not filed until
after the Clerk contacted the parties to remind them of their obligation to file a joint
statement. (See Order, filed May 29, 2014 (directing parties to file Joint Statement no later
than July 3, 2014).) The Court further notes that this is the second occasion on which the
parties have failed to file a timely joint statement and the second occasion on which the
parties have filed a statement that is not in accordance with the Standing Order for All
Judges/Contents of Joint Case Management Statement, previously received by the parties.
(See id.) The parties are advised that future violations of the Court’s orders may subject to
the parties to sanctions.
