Plaintiff,
vs.
RHONDA ELMENDORF,
Defendant.

Case No. 4:13 CV 2400 RWS

MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
On April 25, 2014 I ordered both parties to show cause why they and their counsel should
not be sanctioned for their failure to appear for the Rule 16 conference as ordered. Both parties
have responded to that Show Cause Order and blame “calendaring issues” for their nonappearance. Hopefully, these “calendaring issues” that have plagued counsel have now been
resolved, as I expect parties to comply with all my Orders, which includes appearing for court
proceedings. I will deem the Show Cause Order satisfied, but both parties are on notice that they
have used their “one free pass,” so any future failures to comply with my Orders will be met with
sanctions. Accordingly,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that there will be a scheduling conference in this matter
on Wednesday, May 7, 2014, at 11:00 a.m. in the chambers of the undersigned. Counsel
must appear in person for the conference.
