UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JACQUELINE SIERRA GONZALEZ,

Plaintiff,

v.

UNITED COLLECTION BUREAU, INC.,

Defendant.

Case No. 1:24-cv-01302-SAB

ORDER REQUIRING PARTIES TO SHOW 

CAUSE IN WRITING WHY MONETARY 

SANCTIONS SHOULD NOT ISSUE FOR 

FAILURE TO FILE JOINT SCHEDULING 

REPORT

ORDER CONTINUING SCHEDULING 

CONFERENCE TO JANUARY 16, 2025

DEADLINE: JANUARY 8, 2025

A scheduling conference is currently set for January 7, 2025 in this matter. (ECF No. 2.) 

The parties were ordered to file a joint scheduling report one full week prior to the scheduling 

conference, or no later than December 31, 2024. (Id. at 2.) No joint report was filed. 

Local Rule 110 provides that “[f]ailure of counsel or of a party to comply with these 

Rules or with any order of the Court may be grounds for imposition by the Court of any and all 

sanctions . . . within the inherent power of the Court.” The Court has the inherent power to 

control its docket and may, in the exercise of that power, impose sanctions where appropriate, 

including dismissal of the action. Bautista v. Los Angeles County, 216 F.3d 837, 841 (9th Cir. 

2000).

The Court shall require the parties to show cause why monetary sanctions should not 

issue for the failure to file a joint report in compliance with order setting the mandatory

scheduling conference. Additionally, the Court shall continue the mandatory scheduling 

conference by one week. 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. The parties shall show cause in writing no later than January 8, 2025 why 

monetary sanctions should not issue for the failure to file a joint scheduling report 

as required by the October 15, 2024 order (ECF No. 2). The parties are advised 

that filing a joint scheduling report without showing cause in writing why 

sanctions should not issue is an insufficient response to this order; and 

2. The initial scheduling conference is CONTINUED to January 16, 2025 at 1:00 

p.m., in Courtroom 9 and the parties shall file a joint scheduling report at least 

seven (7) days prior to the scheduling conference; and

3. Failure to comply with this order may result in the issuance of sanctions, up to 

and including dismissal of this action.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: January 2, 2025
