UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

MARTA ANGELICA HURTADO, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

SACRAMENTO COUNTY SHERIFF 

DEPUTY DAVID CUNEO IN HIS 

INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, and DOES 1-

100 inclusive, 

Defendants. 

No. 2:14-cv-00323-KJM-KJN 

ORDER 

On October 2, 2014, the court issued a pre-trial scheduling order. ECF No. 21. In 

the order, the parties were directed to engage in a meet and confer prior to filing a motion. The 

meet and confer directive was designed to have the parties discuss thoroughly the substance of the 

contemplated motion and any potential resolution. ECF No. 21 at 5. After the meet and confer, if 

a party still desired to file a motion, that party was directed to file a notice of motion containing 

“a certification by counsel filing the motion that meet and confer efforts have been exhausted, 

with a brief summary of meet and confer efforts.” Id. 

On September 24, 2015, defendant Deputy David Cuneo filed a motion for 

summary judgment. ECF No. 32. His counsel failed to file a notice of motion containing a

certification indicating that meet and confer efforts have been exhausted. Thus, counsel did not 

comply with the 2014 pre-scheduling order. 

Accordingly, counsel for defendant Cuneo is hereby ORDERED, within seven (7) 

days of entry of this order, to show cause why he should not be sanctioned in the amount of $250 

for his failure to comply with this court’s order. Alternatively, he is ORDERED to meet and 

confer with plaintiff Hurtado’s counsel prior to the due date of the reply to defendant’s motion for 

summary judgment, and file a notice certifying as much, with a report on any narrowing of issues 

resulting from the meet and confer. If the parties meet and confer, the possibility of a sanction 

will be abated. 

IT IS SO ORDERED. 

DATED: October 15, 2015.
