“If the fault lies with the attorney, that is where the impact 1

of sanction should be lodged. If the fault lies with the clients, that

is where the impact of the sanction should be lodged.” Matter of

Sanction of Baker, 744 F.2d 1438, 1442 (10th Cir. 1984), cert. denied,

471 U.S. 1014 (1985). Sometimes the faults of attorneys, and their

consequences, are visited upon clients. In re Hill, 775 F.2d 1385, 1387

(9th Cir. 1985).

2

2012 Order further required that a status report be filed regardless of

whether a joint report could be procured. No status report was filed as

ordered.

Therefore, Plaintiffs are Ordered to Show Cause (“OSC”) in a

writing to be filed no later than August 6, 2012, why sanctions should

not be imposed against them and/or their counsel under Rule 16(f) of the

Federal Rules of Civil Procedure for failure to file a timely status

report. The written response shall also state whether Plaintiffs or

their counsel are at fault, and whether a hearing is requested on the

OSC. If a hearing is requested, it will be held on October 1, 2012, at 1

9:00 a.m., just prior to the status conference, which is rescheduled to

that date and time. A joint status report shall be filed no later than

fourteen (14) days prior to the status conference. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: July 30, 2012
