UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JOE HAND PROMOTIONS, INC.,

Plaintiff,

v.

RENZO EDWARD LOUIS, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 1:19-cv-01537-NONE-SAB

ORDER REQUIRING PLAINTIFF TO SHOW 

CAUSE WHY SANCTIONS SHOULD NOT 

ISSUE FOR FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH 

COURT ORDERS

TEN DAY DEADLINE

Joe Hand Promotions, Inc. (“Plaintiff”) filed this action on October 30, 2019. (ECF No. 

1.) On January 9, 2020, a notice of settlement was filed and Plaintiff was ordered to file 

dispositive documents on or before April 10 2020. (ECF Nos. 7, 8.) The time for dispositional 

documents to be filed has passed and Plaintiff has not complied with or otherwise responded to 

the January 10, 2020 order. 

Local Rule 110 provides that “[f]ailure 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 . . . within the inherent power of the Court.” The Court has the inherent power to 

control its docket and may, in the exercise of that power, impose sanctions where appropriate, 

including dismissal of the action. Bautista v. Los Angeles County, 216 F.3d 837, 841 (9th Cir. 

2000).
