ORDER REQUIRING LAZARENKO

DEFENDANTS TO FILE DECLARATION

REQUIRED BY COURT’S JUNE 24, 2005

ORDER

On June 16, 2005, the Lazarenko defendants filed an opposition to plaintiff’s “Motion

for Lifting Stay,” but failed to serve the Court with a chambers copy. In an order filed June

20, 2005, the Court ordered the Lazarenko defendants to immediately submit a chambers

copy of their opposition, and warned the parties that if they failed to provide chambers

copies in the future, the Court would consider imposing sanctions, including, but not limited

to, striking from the record any electronically-filed document of which a chambers copy had

not been timely provided to the Court.

The Lazarenko defendants again failed to provide a chambers copy of their

opposition. In an order filed June 24, 2005, the Court struck the Lazarenko defendants’

opposition from the record, without prejudice to their filing a new opposition in compliance

with General Order 45 and accompanied by a declaration explaining the reasons for their

failure to date to abide by the Court’s orders.

On June 30, 2005, the Lazarenko defendants refiled their opposition and provided a

chambers copy to the Court, but failed to obey the Court’s order to file a declaration

explaining the reasons for their previous failure to abide by the Court’s orders.

Accordingly, the Lazarenko defendants are hereby ORDERED to file, no later than

July 11, 2005, a declaration explaining their failure to abide by the Court’s orders to provide

chambers copies of their electronically-filed documents, and their failure to comply with the

Court’s June 24, 2005 order requiring the filing of such declaration. A failure to comply with

this order may result in the Court’s striking the opposition and deeming the motion

unopposed by the Lazarenko defendants.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
