v.

6263 ORDAZ TRUST, et al.,

14

Defendant(s).

15

On February 4, 2020, the Court held a settlement conference. In violation of the Court’s

16 order, attorney Steven Loizzi appeared on behalf of Defendant Boulder Ranch Master Association
17 without any client representative. See Docket No. 49 at 2. As a result, Mr. Loizzi was dismissed
18 from the settlement conference.1 In an effort not to prejudice future settlement discussions, the
19 Court defers deciding whether to issue an order to show cause regarding sanctions. See Fed. R.
20 Civ. P. 16(f). Regardless of whether such order to show cause is issued, however, Mr. Loizzi is
21 ADMONISHED for violating the Court’s order. Moreover, a joint status report regarding
22 settlement discussions between Plaintiff and the HOA must be filed by February 11, 2020.
23

IT IS SO ORDERED.
