IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SECURITY INSURANCE COMPANY NO. CIV.S-05-2620 DFL DAD

OF HARTFORD, et al.,

 Plaintiffs, 

 

 v. ORDER

CIBUS INSURANCE SERVICES,

INC., et al.,

 Defendants.

_________________________/

This matter came before the court on August 18, 2006, for

hearing on plaintiffs’ motion for sanctions pursuant to Federal Rule

of Civil Procedure 37 due to defendant Jason Gamache’s failure to

comply with this court’s discovery order filed on June 27, 2006. 

Robert L. Fleischman appeared on behalf of plaintiffs. Despite

having been properly served with motion at his address of record,

there was no appearance on behalf of the defendant Gamache. Nor did

defendant Gamache, who is proceeding pro se, file any opposition to

the motion.
