No. C06-4217 MMC (BZ)

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

Pursuant to my Briefing Order dated August 2, 2007, I

granted plaintiff leave to file a Motion to Compel Discovery

by August 10, 2007. Plaintiff’s counsel did not file the

entire motion until August 11, 2007. Moreover, the motion did

not comply with the Civil Local Rules 7-2(c) and 37-2. This

caused the court to waste substantial time and effort in

attempting to resolve plaintiff’s motion. IT IS THEREFORE

ORDERED that by no later than September 24, 2007, plaintiff’s

counsel shall either show cause in writing why he should not

be held in contempt of court or otherwise sanctioned for

disobeying my prior order and the Civil Local Rules. A

hearing on the Order To Show Cause will be held on October 3,

If counsel wishes to avoid the hearing, he may contribute

$250.00 to St. Anthony’s Dining Room, 121 Golden Gate Avenue,

San Francisco, CA 94102 or Glide Memorial Church Program, 330
