MEMORANDUM ORDER
On June 6 this Court (1) granted the motion of prior defense
counsel to withdraw from their representation because of what
were described as “irreconcilable differences” and (2) permitted
new counsel to appear in their stead.

But this Court’s current

review of its periodically-printed-out list of motions pending in
cases assigned to its calendar reflects that one item of stillopen business needs to be dealt with.
In mid-February of this year counsel for plaintiff Mark
Gamboa (“Gamboa”) had filed a motion for sanctions stemming from
a discovery dispute.

That motion was entered and continued more

than once on the parties’ representation that they were “working
on” the dispute.

With the original defense counsel having

departed, a definitive answer to whether the motion is still
alive is past due.

This Court therefore expects a swift response

from the litigants--well before the next (August 14) status

hearing date.
