ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE AND

CONTINUING STATUS (PRETRIAL

SCHEDULING) CONFERENCE

The April 5, 2012, Order Setting Status (Pretrial Scheduling)

Conference scheduled a status conference in this case on July 23, 2012,

and required the parties to file a joint status report no later than

fourteen (14) days prior to the scheduling conference. The April 5, 2012

Order further required that a status report be filed regardless of

whether a joint report could be procured. No status report was filed as

ordered.

Therefore, Plaintiff is Ordered to Show Cause (“OSC”) in a

writing to be filed no later than July 23, 2012, why sanctions should

not be imposed against it and/or its counsel under Rule 16(f) of the

Federal Rules of Civil Procedure for failure to file a timely status

report. The written response shall also state whether Plaintiff or its

“If the fault lies with the attorney, that is where the impact 1

of sanction should be lodged. If the fault lies with the clients, that

is where the impact of the sanction should be lodged.” Matter of

Sanction of Baker, 744 F.2d 1438, 1442 (10th Cir. 1984), cert. denied,

471 U.S. 1014 (1985). Sometimes the faults of attorneys, and their

consequences, are visited upon clients. In re Hill, 775 F.2d 1385, 1387

(9th Cir. 1985).

counsel is at fault, and whether a hearing is requested on the OSC. If 1

a hearing is requested, it will be held on September 17, 2012, at 9:00

a.m., just prior to the status conference, which is rescheduled to that

date and time. A status report shall be filed no later than fourteen

(14) days prior to the status conference. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
