This matter comes before the court sua sponte. On October 24, 2013, the court

18 denied the parties’ stipulation to grant leave to plaintiffs’ counsel to withdraw as counsel
19 of record because the stipulated motion did not comply with Local Civil Rule
20 83.12(b)(1). On November 15, 2013, the court ordered counsel for plaintiffs, Lonnie
21 Davis, to advise the court whether he is continuing as plaintiffs’ counsel of record no
22 later than November 22, 2013. Dkt. # 71. To date, the court has not heard from Mr.
23 Davis. Accordingly, the court ORDERS Mr. Davis to SHOW CAUSE no later than
24 Friday, December 13, 2013, why he should not be sanctioned $500 for violating a prior
25 order of the court.
26

The court also ORDERS Mr. Davis to provide copies of the court’s October 24

27 and November 15, 2013 orders (Dkt. ## 70, 71), a copy of this order, and a copy of

ORDER- 1

1 defendant’s pending motion for an order to show cause why this case should not be
2 dismissed for lack of prosecution (Dkt. # 72) to plaintiffs no later than Friday, December
3 13, 2013. Mr. Davis is also ORDERED to provide the court written confirmation that he
4 has provided copies of these three orders and defendant’s motion for an order to show
5 cause regarding dismissal to plaintiffs no later than Friday, December 13, 2013. Failure
6 to do so may result in daily monetary sanctions until he complies with orders of this
7 court.
