Defendants.

Case No. 15-cv-04225-HSG 

ORDER FOR DEFENSE COUNSEL TO 

APPEAR FOR SANCTIONS HEARING

Re: Dkt. No. 63

The Court previously issued an order to show cause why defense counsel Bob Khakshooy 

should not be personally sanctioned for failing to serve initial disclosures and for non-compliance 

with local rules regarding case management procedure. See Dkt. No. 63. Defense counsel was 

ordered to respond by March 25, 2016, but failed to comply with the Court’s order.

Similarly, the Court also ordered Mr. Khakshooy’s co-counsel to order a transcript of the 

further case management conference that occurred in this matter on March 15, 2016, and direct 

Mr. Khakshooy, who did not attend, to review the transcript and e-file an acknowledgment on the 

docket. Dkt. No. 62. No such acknowledgment has yet been filed.

At that same further case management conference, the Court instructed the parties to meet 

and confer by 5:30 p.m. on March 15, 2016, regarding a proposed case schedule and submit it for 

the Court’s consideration. Id. Plaintiff’s counsel filed a proposed case schedule on March 21, 

2016. Dkt. No. 64. In that filing, Plaintiff’s counsel alerted the Court that Mr. Khakshooy did not 

participate in the preparation or filing of the case management statement. Dkt. No. 64-1 ¶¶ 4-8. 

Defendant still has not filed any proposed schedule, and failed to sign off on the filing of its 

proposal as part of the joint statement. Id.
