ORDER

This matter is before the Court upon its own motion. On January 9, 2017, the Court
entered an Order directing Defendant’s counsel to appear and show cause why she should not be
sanctioned for her untimely filing of substantive motions which forced the Court to continue the
trial in this case. A hearing was held on February 8, 2017. For the reasons stated in open court,
the Court hereby sanctions defense counsel in the amount of $2,000 to be paid to Plaintiff’s
counsel, Mr. Bell, for expenses incurred in preparation for the trial. The parties are directed to
confer and report to the Court within 30 days providing at least three dates that they would both
be available for a one week trial after June 8, 2017.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
Signed: February 8, 2017
