On August 16, 2006, Defendants filed a Notice of Related

Cases (“Notice”) in which they assert the instant action is related

to case number 2:04-cv-1337-DFL-CMK. In reviewing Defendants’

Notice, it was discovered that Defendants failed to comply with the

requirement of Local Rule 83-123 that "counsel who has reason to

believe that an action on file . . . is related to another action

on file (whether or not dismissed or otherwise terminated) [must]

promptly file in each action and serve on all parties in each

action a Notice of Related Cases” document. L.R. 83-123(b)

(emphasis added). Defendants failed to file a "Notice of Related

Cases" document in the action Defendants contend is related to the

instant case.

If Defendants elect to show cause in a writing as to why 1

sanctions should not be imposed for their failure to comply with

Local Rule 83-123(b), they must state in the filed writing whether

they desire a hearing on the order to show cause.

The failure of one or more of the parties to participate 2

in the preparation of the joint supplemental status report does not

excuse the other parties from their obligation to timely file a

status report in accordance with this Order. In the event a party

fails to participate as ordered, the party timely submitting the

status report shall include a declaration explaining why it was

unable to obtain the cooperation of the other party or parties.

2

This failure to comply with the local rule causes a

needless delay of pending matters in this action. Defendants are

required to comply with Local Rule 83-123(b) no later than noon on

September 20, 2006, or to show cause by that time and date why they

should not be sanctioned for failure to comply with Local Rule 83-

123(b) as stated.1

In order to allow for determination of whether the

actions are related, the hearing on Defendants’ motion to strike

and the Status (Pretrial Scheduling) Conference are rescheduled to

commence at 10:00 a.m. on November 20, 2006. The parties shall

file a joint supplemental status report by November 6, 2006. Each 2

party that brings in an additional party or parties is ordered to

serve a copy of this order on the new party.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: September 12, 2006
