ORDER - 1

1

The court also notes that this case is in its preliminary stages and Plaintiffs’

2

counsel has already twice missed a court deadline due at least in part to his heavy

3

caseload. (See OSC (Dkt. # 12); OSC Resp. (Dkt. # 13); Mot. for Extension (Dkt. # 17);

4

9/18/17 Order.) The court warns Plaintiffs’ counsel that he must arrange his practice in a

5

manner that permits him to meet the court deadlines and other obligations that this

6

litigation entails. The court will not continue to indulge counsel’s failure to adhere to its

7

scheduling orders and other deadlines without imposing consequences.

Dated this 19th day of September, 2017.
