 Mr. Hassan failed to file a declaration attesting that his client has been apprised of the 

sanction order. Accordingly, on July 1, 2016, Mr. Hassan was order to show cause within 14 

days why further sanctions should not be imposed for his failure to comply with the court’s 

January 29, 2016 order. To date, Mr. Hassan has not responded to that order. 

 As he has failed to show good cause for his complete disregard of two court orders, Mr. 

Hassan is sanctioned in the amount of $1,000. This sum shall be paid to the Clerk of the Court no 

later than 21 days from the date of this order. This sanction is personal to Mr. Hassan and is not 

to be passed on to his client in the form of attorney fees or costs. Mr. Hassan shall file an 

affidavit accompanying the payment of this sanction which states that it is paid personally by 

him, out of personal funds, and is not and will not be billed, directly or indirectly, to his clients or 

in any way made the responsibility of his clients as attorneys’ fees or costs and that his client has 

been so informed. Further, the Clerk of the Court shall serve a copy of this order on the State Bar 

of California at the following address: 

 State Bar of California
