CLIFFORD HELMER, 

Plaintiff, No. Civ. S-09-2977 FCD DAD

____________________________/

On March 24, 2010, the Court issued a Minute Order requiring

that a declaration as to the status of this case be filed within

fourteen (14) days of the Minute Order.

As of April 14, 2010, no such declaration has been received

nor has a joint status report been filed. Accordingly, the court

makes the following orders:

1. Plaintiff’s counsel, Mr. Duane L. Tucker, 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 fourteen

(14) 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.

The court finds plaintiff’s counsel’s continuing failure to

comply with the court’s orders a very serious violation and

hereby makes the following orders:

1. Plaintiff’s counsel is ordered to show cause why

plaintiff's case should not be dismissed for failure to

prosecute.

2. Plaintiff’s counsel shall file a response to the order

to show cause on or before May 7, 2010.

3. A hearing on this order to show cause is set for

Friday, May 21, 2010, at 10:00 a.m.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

DATED: April 14, 2010
