UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

GEORGE TYLER,

Petitioner,

v.

FRED FOULK, Warden at High Desert 

 State Prison,

Respondent.

Case No. 1:12-cv-01129-SKO HC

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE WHY 

RESPONDENT SHOULD NOT BE 

SANCTIONED FOR FAILURE TO 

RESPOND TO THE COURT'S ORDER

(Doc. 36)

RESPONSE DUE WITHIN 15 DAYS

On August 18, 2015, the Court entered an order directing Respondent to supplement the 

record with sufficient portions of the transcript of the trial (December 18, 2008) to permit the 

Court to determine whether the prosecution's introduction of new evidence in the course of 

Petitioner's first trial was intended to provoke Petitioner into moving for a mistrial or was 

otherwise attributable to State misconduct. Respondent was ordered to file the supplemental 

portions of the transcript within thirty days. Although thirty days have now passed, Respondent 

has failed to file the requested supplemental materials as ordered or to respond to the order in any 

way.

The Court has discretion to impose any and all sanctions authorized by statute or Rule or 

within the inherent power of the Court, based on Respondent's failure to comply with the Court's 

order. F.R.Civ.P. 11; Local Rule 110.

Accordingly, the Court hereby ORDERS that within 15 days from the date of this order, 

Respondent shall file a written response to the Court, showing cause why sanctions should not be 

imposed against him for failure to obey the Court's order of August 18, 2015. Compliance with 

the Court's order of August 18, 2015, shall be considered an appropriate response.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
