The April 9, 2013 Status (Pretrial Scheduling) Order 

scheduled a final pretrial conference in this case for July 28, 

2014. The Status Order required the parties to file a final 

pretrial statement “no later than seven (7) calendar days prior 

to the final pretrial conference.” (Status Order 3:12-13, ECF No. 

33.) No joint final pretrial statement was filed as required. 

Therefore, Plaintiff is Ordered to Show Cause (“OSC”) 

in a writing to be filed no later than July 28, 2014, why 

sanctions should not be imposed against it and/or its counsel 

under Rule 16(f) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure for

Further, review of the docket reveals this action is 

proceeding by default against all defendants. Therefore, the 

final pretrial conference scheduled for July 28, 2014, and the 

trial scheduled to commence on October 21, 2014, are VACATED. A 

status conference is scheduled to commence at 9:00 a.m. on 

November 24, 2014.2 Plaintiff shall file a status report no later 

than fourteen (14) days prior to the status conference in which 

it explains the status of the default proceedings. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

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

the impact of the sanction should be lodged.” In re 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. Myers v. Shekter (In re Hill), 775 F.2d 1385, 1387 (9th Cir. 1985).

2014, at 9:00 a.m., just prior to the status conference scheduled infra.
