Pursuant to FRCP 11(c)(1)(B), Cristobal Bonifaz and all plaintiffs’ counsel and their law

firms (namely, Paul L. Hoffman and Terry Collingsworth) who signed any complaint or

amended complaint herein are ordered to show cause why each counsel should not be

sanctioned for the conduct set forth in defendants’ pending FRCP 11 motion, including without

limitation the claims that plaintiffs Gloria Chamba, Luisa Gonzales, and Nixon Rodriguez had

cancer caused by defendants when said plaintiffs did not have cancer and said plaintiffs had not

authorized counsel to sue. Said plaintiffs’ counsel shall also respond to the alternate ground of

sanction based on the inherent power of the Court. Said response shall be filed by September

17, 2007, by noon. The hearing now set for September 13, 2007, is VACATED. The original

defense motion and this order to show cause matter shall be heard on September 25, 2007, at

4:00 p.m. No settlement of the remaining claims of the remaining plaintiffs shall be allowed

unless it is without prejudice to the above sanction issues.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
