m. Any other matters that may add to the just and expeditious disposition of this matter.
2. Failing to obey federal or local rules, or any order of this Court, "may be grounds for imposition by the court of any and all sanctions authorized by statute or Rule or within the inherent power of the Court," including dismissal of this action. L.R. 110.
3. The parties are reminded of their continuing duty to notify chambers immediately of any settlement or other disposition. See L.R. 160. In addition, the parties are cautioned that pursuant to Local Rule 230(c), an opposition, or a statement of non-opposition, to the granting of a motion must be filed at least fourteen (14) days preceding the noticed (or continued) hearing date. Local Rule 230(c) further provides that "[n]o party will be entitled to be heard in opposition to a motion at oral arguments if opposition to the motion has not been timely filed by that party." Moreover, Local Rule 230(i) provides that absent notice of intent to submit the matter on the briefs, failure to appear may be deemed withdrawal of the motion or of opposition to the motion, or may result in sanctions.
4. The parties may consent to have this case before the assigned magistrate judge for all purposes. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(c). The Clerk of the Court is directed to serve on the parties the "Notice of Availability of a Magistrate Judge to Exercise Jurisdiction."
