UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

OTASHE GOLDEN, M.D., 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

SOUND INPATIENT PHYSICIANS 

MEDICAL GROUP, INC., AND DOES 1-

10, inclusive, 

Defendant. 

No. 2:14-cv-497-TLN-EFB PS 

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE 

 The court issued an order setting a status (pretrial scheduling) conference for August 3, 

2016, and directing the parties to file a joint status report within fourteen days of the scheduled 

conference. ECF No. 81. The court subsequently approved the parties’ stipulation to continue 

the scheduling conference and ordered the parties to file a joint status report by October 19, 2016. 

ECF No. 83. 

 The parties, however, failed to timely file a joint status report. Accordingly, the parties 

are ordered to show cause why they should not be sanctioned for their failure to comply with the 

court’s order. See E.D. Cal. L.R. 110 (“Failure of counsel or of a party to comply with these 

Rules or with any order of the Court may be grounds for imposition by the Court of any and all 

sanctions authorized by statute or Rule or within the inherent power of the Court.”); see also E.D. 

Cal. L.R. 183 (“Any individual representing himself or herself without an attorney is bound by
