Background
Jason Taad filed a motion to remand the case to state court on February 16, 2022. Bigge Crane and Rigging Co.'s opposition was due March 2, 2022, but the deadline passed without an opposition. Under the court's local rules, a party that does not oppose a motion must file a statement of non-opposition within the time allowed for an opposition.
Order
The court ordered Bigge Crane and Rigging Co. to file an opposition or a statement of non-opposition by March 22, 2022. It also ordered the defendant to show cause in writing by that date—meaning explain why the court should not impose sanctions—for failing to comply with the local rules.
The court scheduled a hearing on the order to show cause for April 12, 2022, at 2:00 p.m. It set March 31, 2022, as the deadline for Taad's reply on the remand motion and continued the remand-motion hearing to April 28, 2022, at 2:00 p.m.
Disposition
Judge Jon S. Tigar issued an order to show cause and set filing and hearing deadlines. The opinion did not rule on Taad's motion to remand or impose sanctions.
