UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

GEORGE FETTER, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

PLACER COUNTY SHERIFF, EDWARD 

N. BONNER, individually and in his 

Official Capacity, COUNTY OF PLACER, 

CALIFORNIA FORENSICS MEDICAL 

GROUP (CFMG), PLACER COUNTY 

SHERIFF DEPARTMENT, and DOES 1 

through 20, 

Defendants. 

No. 2:12-cv-2235-MCE-EFB 

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE 

 On January 29, 2016, the court ordered plaintiff’s counsel, Allen Hassan, to pay counsel 

for defendants Edward Bonner, the Placer County Sheriff’s Office, and County of Placer the 

reasonable expenses they incurred in bringing a motion to compel discovery. ECF No. 74; see 

ECF No. 64. The order provided that the sanction was personal to Mr. Hassan and was not to be 

passed on to his client in the form of attorney fees or costs. Mr. Hassan was therefore directed to 

notify his client in writing of the sanction order and to provide plaintiff with a copy of the order. 

Mr. Hassan was also ordered to file within 21 days a declaration that his client had been so 

informed. Id. at 2.

 To date, Mr. Hassan has not filed a declaration attesting that his client has been apprised 

of the sanction order.1 Accordingly, Mr. Hassan is order to show cause, in writing, within 14 

days of this order, why further sanctions should not be imposed for his failure to comply with the 

court’s January 29, 2016 order. See E.D. Cal. L.R. 110 (providing that counsel’s failure to 

comply with any order “may be grounds for imposition by the court of any and all sanctions 

authorized by statute or Rule within the inherent power of the Court.”). 

So Ordered. 

DATED: July 1, 2016.

 There is also no indication that Mr. Hassan has in fact reimbursed defendants for the 

expenses they incurred.
