UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

----oo0oo----

An Order Requiring a Joint Status Report was filed on

September 3, 2004, instructing the parties to file a joint status

report within sixty (60)days of service of the complaint on any

party, or from the date of removal. 

A review of the court’s docket shows the following: an

answer filed on December 6, 2004; a minute order filed 

March 3, 2005, instructing the parties to file a joint status

report in compliance with the order of September 3, 2004; a joint

status report filed On April 4, 2005; another minute order,

filed May 19, 2005, requiring a new joint status report because

the previous report did not comply with the Court’s Order

Requiring a Joint Status Report; and finally a separate status

report filed by defendants on July 6, 2005. 

Defendants’ counsel, Mr. Philip E. Carey, sent a letter, 

separate from the report,1 informing the court that all attempts

to contact plaintiff’s counsel, Mr. Theodore Pinnock, to complete

the report have been unsuccessful. The Court has received no

oral or written correspondence from Mr. Pinnock, regarding the

separate report or the letter.

The Court considers Mr. Pinnock’s failure to comply with its

September 3, 2004, order and its March 3, 2005, and May 19, 2005

minute orders very serious violations, especially in light of the

fact that court warned counsel in its order that failure to

timely file could result in sanctions. The court, therefore,

makes the following order:

1. Mr. Pinnock is ordered to show cause why he should not

be sanctioned in the amount of $450.00 ($150.00 each for failing

to comply with the court’s September 3, 2004 order and the

court’s March 3, 2005 and May 19, 2005 minute orders). 

2. Mr. Pinnock shall file his response to the Order to

Show Cause on or before September 9, 2005.
