1 As the court noted in its November 6, 2009 Order, this

is not the first time Mr. Brook has disregarded the Local Rules. 

In Raya v. Wachovia Mortgage et al., No. 2:09-1325 (E.D. Cal.)

and in Bledea v. Wash. Mut. Home Loans et al., No. 2:09-1490

(E.D. Cal.), Mr. Brook similarly failed to timely file any papers

in response to a motion to dismiss in violation of Local Rule

230(c).

submit a statement showing good cause for his noncompliance with

the Local Rules or pay sanctions to the Clerk of the Court within

ten days of the court’s Order. Mr. Brook continues to flout the

court’s February 2, 2010 Order to this day.1

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that Michael J.M. Brook shall,

within ten days of this Order pay sanctions of $200.00 to the

Clerk of the Court. If Mr. Brook fails to pay sanctions within

ten days of this Order the court will consider dismissal of this

action and/or adjudicating Mr. Brook in contempt.
