That same day, the Court issued an 19 order directing the parties to file dispositional documents no later than April 19, 2023, pursuant to 20 Local Rule 160(b). As of the date of this Order, the parties have failed to file dispositional 21 documents for this case or make any filing seeking an extension of the time set by the Court to 22 file dispositional documents. 23 Local Rule 110 provides that “[f]ailure of counsel or of a party to comply with these Rules 24 or with any order of the Court may be grounds for imposition by the Court of any and all 25 sanctions…within the inherent power of the Court.” The Court has the inherent power to control 26 its docket and may, in the exercise of that power, impose sanctions where appropriate, including 27 dismissal of the action.
