PHILIPS CONSUMER LUMINARIES, NA,
et al.,

Defendants.
A Case Management Conference is scheduled for October 21, 2013. The parties have failed

17

to file a Joint Case Management Statement as required by the Local Rules, this Court’s Standing

18

Order in Civil Cases, and prior order of this Court. See Civil L.R. 16-9(a); see Standing Order in

19

Civil Cases at Section 6 (“Joint case management statements are required and must be filed seven

20

days in advance of the initial case management conference date.”); Dkt. No. 24 (“The parties shall

21

file a joint case management conference statement seven days in advance of the case management

22

conference date.”).

23

The parties are hereby ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE why they should not be sanctioned for

24

failure to timely file a Joint Case Management Statement. A hearing on this Order to Show Cause

25

will be held on Monday, November 4, 2013 at 2:00 p.m. in Courtroom 5. By no later than October

26

28, 2013, the parties must file either (1) a joint case management statement, which includes a

27

statement that they have reviewed the Local Rules with respect to their responsibilities and this

28

Court’s Standing Order in Civil Cases; or (2) a written response to this Order to Show Cause why

1

they should not be sanctioned for their failure to timely file a joint case management statement.

2

Failure to file a joint statement, written response, or to appear personally will be deemed an admission

3

that no good cause exists and that the imposition of monetary sanctions is appropriate.

4

The Case Management Conference set for October 21, 2013 is hereby CONTINUED to

5

November 4, 2013 at 2:00 p.m. In light of this continuance, Defendant’s request for permission to

6

appear by telephone is DENIED as moot. However, the Court notes that this request would have been

7

denied if the conference had occurred as scheduled. See Standing Order in Civil Cases at Section 6

8

(“Because of the substantive quality of the initial case management conference, telephonic

9

appearances are disfavored. The Court will grant requests to appear by telephone only upon a

10

compelling showing of good cause. The routine inconveniences of travel do not constitute good

11

cause.”) (emphasis supplied).
