This Court’s February 22, 2016 Order (ECF Nos. 487) required all parties to 

appear in person at 9:00 a.m. for the Mandatory Settlement Conference held in this case 

on June 8, 2016. Defendants Aly Shakankiry, Bahman Kianmahd, Denise M. Brown, 

and Younes Dobli Bennani (see ECF No. 296-3, ¶¶26, 30, 51 (5th Am. Cpl.)) arrived 

more than an hour late to the June 8, 2016 Mandatory Settlement Conference. The Court 

therefore ORDERS:

1. By July 7, 2016, Defendants Aly Shakankiry, Bahman Kianmahd, Denise 

M. Brown, and Younes Dobli Bennani shall each show cause in writing through a 

declaration why the Court should not sanction for violating this Court’s order by arriving 

more than an hour late to the June 8, 2016 Mandatory Settlement Conference. CivLR 

83.1; see also Aloe Vera of Am., Inc. v. United States, 376 F.3d 960, 964-65 (9th Cir. 

2004) (“All federal courts are vested with inherent powers enabling them to manage their 

cases and courtrooms effectively and to ensure obedience to their orders . . . . As a

attorney’s fees and assess fines.”); or

2. Alternatively, by July 7, 2016, Defendants Aly Shakankiry, Bahman 

Kianmahd, Denise M. Brown, and Younes Dobli Bennani may each pay a monetary 

sanction of $100.00, with any check made payable to the Miscellaneous Fines, Penalties 

and Forfeitures, Not Otherwise Classified, fund of the United States Treasury (see CivLR 

83.1), and file a Notice of Payment verifying the monetary sanction was paid. For any of 

the aforementioned defendants who pays the monetary sanction of $100.00 by July 7, 

2016, that defendant (and that defendant only) shall be excused from having to show cause 

in writing through a declaration (see ¶1 supra) without further court order.

Failure to comply with this Order shall constitute grounds for additional sanctions. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
