UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

TASHA SCOTT,

NO. CIV. 06-1216 LKK/EFB

Plaintiff,

v.

SOLANO COUNTY HEALTH AND SOCIAL O R D E R

SERVICES DEPARTMENT, SOLANO

COUNTY, PATRICK DUTERTE and

TRISH EDIE, et al,

Defendants.

 /

On July 1, 2008, the court ordered counsel for plaintiff to

show cause why sanctions should not be imposed for her failure to

file a timely opposition to defendants’ motion for summary judgment

or statement of non-opposition. Counsel responded to the order to

show cause on July 11, 2008. The crux of plaintiff’s response is

that defendants’ motion was voluminous and she had technical

difficulty in opening the document and forwarding it to her client.

These circumstances do not constitute good cause for failing to

adhere to the deadlines of the court.
