ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

On October 10, 2006 I issued an Initial Discovery Order

which, among other things, required the parties to meet and

confer in a good faith effort to resolve any discovery

disputes prior to seeking court intervention and to make a

record of their meeting. 

On March 6, 2007 counsel for plaintiffs requested court

intervention with respect to a long standing dispute over

certain documents plaintiffs were seeking from defendant. 

After reading defendant’s written response, I became troubled

that the parties had not been able to resolve at least part of

their dispute during the meet and confer session and ordered 

plaintiffs to lodge a record of that session for my review.

Today the court was informed that there is no record of

the meet and confer session. Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY

ORDERED that both parties show cause in writing by March 30,

2007, why they should not be held in contempt of court or

otherwise sanctioned under Rule 16(f) of the Federal Rules of

Civil Procedure for failing to comply with the court’s Initial

Discovery Order. A hearing on the Order to Show Cause is

scheduled for Wednesday, April 18, 2007 at 10:00 a.m. in

Courtroom G, 15th Floor, Federal Building, 450 Golden Gate

Avenue, San Francisco, California 94102.
