XANITOS, INC., et al.,

Re: Dkt. No. 47

Defendants.

On September 18, 2015, plaintiff submitted a two page letter describing both significant

14

discovery disputes and defendants’ failure to comply with my Standing Order for Civil Cases

15

requiring the parties to submit a joint letter after reaching a discovery impasse following good

16

faith meet and confer efforts. Dkt. No. 47. Inexplicably, defendants have failed to respond even

17

to that letter.

18

Defendants are ordered to show cause why they should not be sanctioned for their non-

19

compliance with my Standing Order and for their failure to produce the discovery identified in the

20

letter that was apparently propounded as long as six months ago. Defendants shall file any

21

declarations or other justification in response to this Order to Show Cause by noon on Friday,

22

September 25, 2015. After I have reviewed that response, I will determine whether to allow a

23

reply and whether a hearing is necessary.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
