response to the court’s Order to Show Cause evinces a disturbing

lack of respect for this court and its orders, and constitutes a

Therefore, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Counsel shall pay sanctions in the amount of $150.00.

Payment should be in the form of a check made payable to The

Clerk Of The Court. The sum is to be paid personally by

plaintiff’s counsel not later than ten (10) days from the filing

of this Order for Sanctions.

2. This sanction is personal to the attorney, is to be

borne by him personally, and is not to be transmitted to the

client by way of a charge of attorney’s fees and/or costs.

3. Counsel shall read the Civil Rules of the Local Rules

of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of

California in their entirety within thirty (30) days of the

filing of this Order for Sanctions.

4. Not later than thirty (30) days from the filing of this

Order, plaintiff’s counsel shall file a declaration attesting to

his compliance with the terms of this Order.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
