STATEMENT BY NOON NOVEMBER 9, 

2016 AND TO SHOW CAUSE WHY 

SANCTIONS SHOULD NOT ISSUE FOR 

THE FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THE 

SCHEDULING ORDER

A settlement conference in this action is set for November 14, 2016, at 9:00 a.m. before 

the undersigned. (ECF Nos. 8, 10.) Pursuant to the scheduling order issued on July 20, 2016, 

the parties were required to submit a confidential settlement statement to the Court one week 

prior to the conference date. (ECF No. 8 at 7.) The Court has timely received the confidential 

statement from Defendant, however no statement has been received from Plaintiff. This Court 

spends considerable time preparing for settlement conference so as to make it meaningful to the 

parties and results in a greater likelihood of settlement success. Settlement is extremely

United States. The settlement conference statement assists the Court in adequately preparing for 

these matters. They are not pro forma.

Rules or with any order of the Court may be grounds for imposition by the Court of any and all 

sanctions . . . within the inherent power of the Court.” The Court has the inherent power to 

control its docket and may, in the exercise of that power, impose sanctions where appropriate, 

including dismissal of the action. Bautista v. Los Angeles County, 216 F.3d 837, 841 (9th Cir. 

2000).

November 9, 2016. Plaintiff is directed to the July 20, 2016 scheduling order which sets forth 

the requirements for the confidential statement. Plaintiff shall also show cause why sanctions 

should not issue for the failure to comply with the July 20, 2016 scheduling order.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Plaintiff shall submit a confidential settlement statement directly to the chambers 

of Magistrate Judge Stanley A. Boone by e-mail at saborders@caed.uscourts.gov

by noon on Wednesday, November 9, 2016; and

2. Within two (2) days from the date of service of this order, Plaintiff shall show 

cause in writing why sanctions should not issue for the failure to comply with the 

July 20, 2016 scheduling order.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
