v. ISSUE FOR FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH

COURT ORDERS MARTHA FRANCO DE PIZANO, et al.,

FIVE DAY DEADLINE Defendants.

George Avalos (“Plaintiff”) filed this action pursuan to the Americans with Disabilities Act, 42 U.S.C. §§ 12181 et seq. on November 6, 2020. (ECF No. 1.) On January 24, 2021, a notice of settlement was filed and the parties were ordered to file dispositive documents within thirty days of January 28, 2021. (ECF Nos. 16, 17.) More than thirty days have passed and the parties have not filed dispositive documents.

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).

Accordingly, the Court HEREBY ORDERS the parties TO SHOW CAUSE in writing within five (5) days of the date of entry of this order why dispositive documents have not yet been filed. The parties are forewarned that the failure to show cause may result in the imposition of sanctions.

IT IS SO ORDERED. 2 Se Dated: _March 2, 2021 _
