In accordance with 28 U.S.C. section 636(e), the Magistrate Judge certifies the following facts:1
1. On February 15, 2019, the Magistrate Judge issued a Minute Order stating:
Without legitimate excuse, Defendants Los Angeles Sheriff's Department and County of Los Angeles ("Defendants") remain in willful violation of this Court's June 22, 2018 Order and this Court's November 16, 2018 Order. In particular, Defendants still have not produced to Plaintiff any documents responsive to Plaintiff's Request for Production No. 18.
In the event Defendants fail to produce to Plaintiff all documents responsive to Plaintiff's Request for Production No. 18 on or before February 19, 2019, Defendants shall pay to the Court a per diem sanction in the amount of $500.00 beginning on February 20, 2019. See Grimes v. San Francisco, 951 F.2d 236, 240-41 (9th Cir. 1991). Defendants shall pay a $500.00 sanction to the Court every calendar day thereafter until Defendants comply fully with this Court's orders to produce to Plaintiff all documents responsive to Plaintiff's Request for Production No. 18. These per diem sanctions shall be paid by checks to "Clerk, U.S. District Court" and the checks shall state in the "Memo" sections thereof: "Sanctions for case No. CV 17-5640-AB(Ex)."
2. From February 19, 2019, and continuing through at least July 19, 2019, Defendants failed to produce to Plaintiff all documents responsive to Plaintiff's Request for Production No. 18, as required by the Magistrate Judge's February 15, 2019 Order.
