YVETTE FELARCA, ET AL., 

Plaintiffs, 

v. 

ROBERT J. BIRGENEAU, ET AL., 

Defendants. 

Case No. 11-cv-05719-YGR 

ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFFS’ MOTION FOR 

A ONE-DAY EXTENSION AS MOOT;

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE RE: SANCTIONS 

FOR FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH 

DEADLINES

Dkt. No. 450 

On July 21, 2015, Plaintiffs filed a Motion For A One-Day Extension To File Reply And 

Opposition On Motions For Summary Judgment On Issues Of Excessive Force And False Arrest, 

seeking an extension of time from July 21, 2015, to July 22, 2015. (Dkt. No. 450.) However, 

Plaintiffs failed to file a Reply and Opposition, or any other document, on July 22, 2015. The 

Motion for a One-Day Extension is therefore DENIED AS MOOT. With respect to the deadline at 

issue, the Court notes that it previously granted Plaintiffs’ stipulated requests for extensions of this 

deadline, first extending the date from June 30 to July 14, 2015, then further extending the 

deadline to July 21, 2015. Plaintiffs’ latest request, offering only that they “underestimated the 

difficulty” of completing their filing, did not offer good cause for an extension. Plaintiffs have 

been warned orally, and in writing, about their cavalier disregard of filing deadlines. They are 

hereby on notice that all subsequent failures to comply will carry appropriate monetary or 

evidentiary sanctions. 

In light of the above, Plaintiffs are hereby ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE why the Court 

should not impose monetary or evidentiary sanctions against them for their repeated, flagrant 

disregard of filing deadlines in connection with the summary judgment motions and throughout
