Defendants.

ORDER DIRECTING THE PARTIES TO

Plaintiff Roberto Johnson is a former county jail inmate and current state prisoner 

proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis in this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983.

I. INTRODUCTION

On September 16, 2024, this Court issued its Order Referring Case to Post-Screening 

ADR and Staying Case for 90 Days. (Doc. 38.) The parties were directed to “file the attached 

notice, indicating their agreement to proceed to an early settlement conference or their belief that 

settlement is not achievable at this time” within 45 days of the date of the Order. (Id. at 2.) The 

notice form was provided for the parties’ use. (Id. at 3.) Although more than 45 days have passed, 

neither party has filed the required notice.

II. DISCUSSION

This Court’s Local Rules, corresponding with Rule 11 of the Federal Rules of Civil 

Procedure, provide that the “[f]ailure of counsel or of a party to comply with these Rules or with 

any order of the Court may be grounds for the imposition by the Court of any and all sanctions 

authorized by statute or within the inherent power of the Court.” See Local Rule 110. 

Here, the parties have failed to comply with this Court’s September 16, 2024, order as 

neither Plaintiff nor Defendant filed the notice attached to the Order within 45 days.

III. CONCLUSION AND ORDER

For the foregoing reasons, each party SHALL show cause, within 14 days, why sanctions 

should not be imposed for failure to comply with the Court’s order. Alternatively, within that 

same period, each party may file the notice attached to the September 16, 2024, order.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: November 7, 2024 /s/ Sheila K. Oberto .
