ORDER SANCTIONING
ROBERT PENFIELD

v.

Defendants.

This matter comes before the Court on its order requiring Mr. Robert Penfield

15 (“Penfield”) to show cause why the $2,006 in sanctions previously imposed upon
16 Plaintiffs Randy and Katherine Boag (“Boags”) (see Dkts. 50 and 55) should not be
17 imposed upon him. Dkt. 73. In that order, the Court found that Penfield’s conduct as
18 counsel for the Boags, constituted gross negligence, and that the sanctions it had issued
19 against the Boags should be imposed on Penfield absent cause shown. Id. at 14-15.
20 Therefore, the Court required Penfield to show cause no later than October 16, 2013. Id.
21 at 15. Otherwise, the Court stated that, without further notice, it would issue an order
22 sanctioning Penfield. Id.

ORDER - 1

Penfield has failed to respond to the Court’s order requiring him to show cause.

3 Court sanctions him in the amount of $2,006 to be paid to Defendants no later than
4 November 15, 2013.

It is so ORDERED.
