At the May 23, 2005, Status (Pretrial Scheduling)

Conference, Stephen Craig Hunter, counsel for The Pentecostal Church

of God, sought to open the closed law and motion deadline for The

Pentecostal Church of God so it could file a motion for summary

judgment. When Mr. Hunter was asked why this request was not

mentioned in the parties’ JSR, he indicated The Pentecostal Church of

God did not file a status report on the issue. Therefore, The

Pentecostal Church of God and Mr. Hunter were ordered to show cause

(“OSC”) on or before June 3, 2005, why sanctions should not be imposed

Cir. 1984), cert. denied, 471 U.S. 1014 (1985). Sometimes the
