ORDER IMPOSING SANCTIONS

Re: Dkt. Nos. 17, 21

On February 18, 2015, lead plaintiff’s counsel for Plaintiff J&J Sports Productions, Inc., 

Mr. Thomas P. Riley, did not appear at the initial Case Management Conference. In an order

counsel to appear at case management conferences. Dkt. No. 17. In his response to the Order to 

Show Cause, Mr. Riley failed to show good cause for his failure to appear and noted that he “will 

accept whatever monetary sanction the Court deems appropriate.” Dkt. No. 21. Accordingly, Mr. 

Riley is sanctioned in the amount of $500.00, to be paid to the Clerk of the Court, Office of the 

Clerk, United States District Court, 450 Golden Gate Avenue, San Francisco, CA 94102-3489. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
