ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

This matter arises on the Court’s review of the file. On June 30, 2006, the

undersigned issued an order (docket #1809) directing ten attorneys whose names appeared on

Notices of Electronic Filings as receiving Notice By Other Means (non-electronic notice) to

familiarize themselves with this District Court's Electronic Case Filing ("ECF") requirements

as set forth on the Court's internet website located at http://www.azd.uscourts.gov/ and as set

forth in the Court's ECF Administrative Policies and Procedures Manuel, effective April 3,

2006. 

The Court further advised the ten attorneys if they wished to continue to receive

notices and copies of filings in this case, they should comply with the requirements set forth in

the ECF Administrative policies and Procedures Manuel no later than July 28, 2006 or their

names might be removed from the list of Notices By Other Means on the Notices of Electronic

Filings issued in this case. The Court's order further advised the ten attorneys if they do not

have the hardware, software and other necessary equipment listed in the Attorney Registration

for Electronic Case Filing section on the Court's ECF Internet Page, they should seek an

by which attorneys must abide. Id. It is within the district court's inherent power to impose

consequences for those attorneys who fail to comply with orders regarding the manner in which

documents are filed or communicated to and amongst counsel. Since the reasonable period of

time aforesaid counsel was given to comply with this Court's order of June 20, 2006 (docket

#1809) has passed, the Court hereby orders counsel William Anthony Bianco, Michael John

Gallagher, James L. Lucari, Dean C. Miller, Laura J. Nagle, and Richard Scott Pearson to show

cause in writing on or before September 29, 2006 why this Court should not enforce its

previous directions to the Clerk of the Court and terminate the names of these six attorneys from

the recipient list to receive Notices By Other Means who have apparently not complied with this

Court's Orders and ECF Manual by the September 29, 2006 deadline.

Accordingly,

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that counsel William Anthony Bianco, Michael

John Gallagher, James L. Lucari, Dean C. Miller, Laura J. Nagle, and Richard Scott Pearson,

individually or collectively, show cause in writing on or before September 29, 2006 why this

Court should not enforce its previous directions to the Clerk of the Court and terminate the

names of these six attorneys from the recipient list to receive Notices By Other Means for

failure to comply with this Court's Orders and ECF Manual. 

DATED this 11th day of September, 2006.
