ORDER

This matter is before the Court on Defendant’s Amended Motion to Compel Discovery (#20),

14

filed June 15, 2015. The response to the motion was due by July 2, 2015, but no response has been

15

filed. Local Rule 7-2(d) provides that “[t]he failure of an opposing party to file points and authorities

16

in response to any motion shall constitute a consent to the granting of the motion.” Accordingly,

17

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Defendants Amended Motion to Compel Discovery (#20) is

18

granted. Plaintiff’s responses to the discovery requests are due within thirty (30) days entry of this

19

order.

20

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Plaintiff shall show cause in writing by August 31, 2015

21

why the Court should not award reasonable fees, including attorney fees, and expenses pursuant to Fed.

22

R. Civ. P. 37(a)(5)(A) for Defendant having to file the motion. Failure to submit a show cause brief in

23

writing will result in a recommendation that reasonable fees, including attorney fees, and expenses be

24

awarded to Defendant. Failure to follow this order may also result in additional sanctions, including

25

dismissal of the lawsuit.

26

Dated: July 13, 2015.
