13 Plaintiff Scott Johnson served his complaint on Defendants in this case on January 1, 2022.

14 Under General Order 56, the parties were required to complete a joint site inspection by March 2, 2022. See id. ¶ 7. The parties failed to comply with that deadline. See ECF No. 17. Instead, one week after the deadline had lapsed, they filed a request to forego the joint inspection. Id. 17 The parties are ordered to show cause in writing by May 24, 2022, as to why sanctions should not be imposed for failure to comply with the Court’s orders. See Civ. L.R. 1-4; Wang v. Nevada Sys. of Higher Educ., No. 3:18-CV-00075-MMD(CLB), 2022 WL 95428, at *4 (D. Nev. Jan. 10, 2022) (“Federal courts have the inherent power to punish conduct which abuses the judicial process, including accessing attorneys’ fees when a party has ‘acted in bad faith, vexatiously, wantonly, or for oppressive reasons.’” (quoting Chambers v. NSDCO, Inc., 501 U.S. 23 32, 45-46 (1991)). The Court notes that it has frequently been required to address Plaintiff’s, and Plaintiff’s counsel’s, failure to comply with the Court’s deadlines.
