Case No. 2:13-cv-02055-JCM-CWH
ORDER

12
This matter is before the Court on Tamela L. Kahle’s Response to the Order to Show
13
Cause (#13) and Notice re: Certification of Review (#12), both filed on February 19, 2014. On
14
January 30, 2014, the Court issued an Order denying the parties’ Proposed Discovery Plan and
15
Scheduling Order (#9). See Order #10. In doing so, the Court noted that the parties failed to
16
comply with Local Rules (“LR”) 26-1 and 26-4. Accordingly, the Court ordered all counsel of
17
record, including Tamela L. Kahle, to submit a notice to the court by February 6, 2014 certifying
18
that they have reviewed the corrections listed in the order in addition to LRs 26-1 and 26-4.
19
Tamela L. Kahle failed to comply with the Court’s Order. Accordingly, the Court issued an
20
Order to Show Cause why Tamela L. Kahle should not be sanctioned.
21
After careful review of the response brief and certification that Tamela L. Kahle has
22
reviewed the corrections and LRs 26-1 and 26-4, the Court finds that no sanctions are warranted
23
at this time. Tamela L. Kahle has certified that she will comply with the Local Rules in the
24
future. Additionally, Tamela L. Kahle promptly responded to the Court’s Order to Show Cause
25
and explained that the failure to comply was due to a calendaring error.
26
Based on the foregoing and good cause appearing therefore,
27
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that sanctions, including monetary sanctions and a
28
recommendation for civil contempt, shall not be imposed on Tamela L. Kahle for her failure to

1

comply with a court order in violation of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 16(f) and Local Rule

2

IA 4-1.
