Fukushima (“Fukushima”) filed a “Notice Re: Motion to Compromise.” (Dkt. No. 33.) Therein,

Fukushima represented that a “Motion to Compromise, which includes the settlement of this

pending action, is set to be heard on September 4, 2012” in the bankruptcy court. (Id. at 1.) 

It has now been over four months since the Motion to Compromise was set for

hearing in the bankruptcy action. Accordingly, the parties to this action (No. 2:11-cv-00886

JAM KJN PS) shall update this court of the status of settlement of this case, including, but not

limited to, the bankruptcy court’s determination regarding the Motion to Compromise referenced

in Fukushima’s filing on July 31, 2012. (Dkt. No. 33.) 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. On or before February 3, 2013, the parties shall file a joint status report

providing an update regarding the status of the bankruptcy matter, the bankruptcy court’s

determination regarding the Motion to Compromise referenced in Fukushima’s filing on July 31,

2012 (Dkt. No. 33), the status of the settlement in this case (No. 2:11-cv-00886 JAM KJN PS),

and the anticipated filing date of dispositional documents. All parties are reminded that the

“[f]ailure of counsel or of a party to comply with these Rules or with any order of the Court may

be grounds for imposition by the Court of any and all sanctions authorized by statute or Rule or

within the inherent power of the Court.” E. Dist. Local Rule 110; see also Local Rule 183(a)

(“Any individual representing himself or herself without an attorney is bound by the Federal

Rules of Civil or Criminal Procedure, these Rules, and all other applicable law.”); King v.

Atiyeh, 814 F.2d 565, 567 (9th Cir. 1987) (“Pro se litigants must follow the same rules of

procedure that govern other litigants.”). Failure to timely comply with this order may result in

the imposition of sanctions.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

DATED: January 3, 2013
