to the motion for summary judgment a serious violation of the

failure to file a response to the court’s Order to Show Cause

evinces a disturbing lack of respect for this court and its

1. Counsel shall pay sanctions in the amount of $150.00.

Payment should be in the form of a check made payable to The

Clerk Of The Court. The sum is to be paid personally by

plaintiff’s counsel not later than ten (10) days from the filing

borne by him personally, and is not to be transmitted to the

client by way of a charge of attorney’s fees and/or costs.

of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of

California in their entirety within thirty (30) days of the
