ORDER ON MOVING PRETRIAL CONFERENCE TO

APRIL 6, 2007, AND ORDER

TO SHOW CAUSE

Trial in this matter is currently set for May 8, 2007. The Pre-Trial conference is currently

set for March 30, 2007. By Local Rule, the time to file a joint pre-trial statement was on or by

March 23, 2007. See Local Rule 16-281. As of the time of signing of this order, no pre-trial

statements have been filed nor has there been a request to continue the pre-trial conference. The

failure of the parties to file a pre-trial statement renders the pre-trial procedures incomplete and

the pre-trial conference impractical. It is therefore necessary to move the pre-trial conference

date and for the parties to file a joint pre-trial statement. Further, because the parties have failed

to file a pre-trial statement, they are in violation of the Local Rules. On the new date set for the

pre-trial conference, the parties’s counsel are to show cause why sanctions should not be imposed

If more time to file a joint pre-trial statement was needed, the proper course was to file a 1

motion for continuance of the pre-trial conference.

upon them for their failure to follow Local Rule 16-281, which has forced the Court to move the 1

pre-trial conference sua sponte. See Local Rule 11-110.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. The previously set pre-trial conference date of March 30, 2007, is VACATED due to the

parties’s failure to follow Local Rule 16-281;

2. The new pre-trial conference date is April 6, 2007, at 8:00 a.m. in Courtroom No. 2;

3. The parties are to file a joint pre-trial statement on or by Tuesday, April 3, 2007; and

4. On April 6, 2007, at 8:00 a.m. the parties’s counsel are also to show cause why sanctions

should not be imposed upon them for their failure to follow Local Rule 16-281.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
