ORDER DISCHARGING ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE AND VACATING HEARING

Re: Dkt. Nos. 14, 15

On September 23, 2019, the Court set a telephonic conference to discuss the parties' notice of settlement in this action. See Dkt. No. 12. However, Plaintiff's counsel failed to attend the October 1 telephonic conference. See Dkt. No. 13. The Court subsequently issued an order to show cause why Plaintiff's counsel should not be sanctioned for her failure to attend the telephonic conference, and why a 60-day conditional dismissal is not warranted in light of the parties' settlement. See Dkt. No. 14. Plaintiff's counsel failed to respond to the order to show cause by the October 8, 2019, deadline. Only after the Court set a hearing on the order to show cause, see Dkt. No. 15, did Plaintiff's counsel finally respond that she had inadvertently missed both the telephonic conference and the order to show cause deadline. See Dkt. No. 18.

Because Plaintiff's counsel has explained that she has since taken remedial measures to ensure this does not happen again, see id. at ¶ 13, the Court DISCHARGES the order to show cause and VACATES the hearing set for October 15, 2019, at 2:00 p.m.

Nevertheless, the Court has recognized a pattern of missed deadlines by Ms. Seabock and the Center for Disability Access, and Plaintiff's counsel is advised that she and her firm will be subject to sanctions for any failure to meet deadlines in the future, in this or any other case before the Court.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
