C.D. Cal. L.R. 40-3

In any civil case, failure to comply with the

provisions of L.R. 40-1 or 40-2 may subject counsel or the parties to the

following sanctions:

(a) Payment of costs and attorneys’ fees of an opposing party;

(b) Payment of reasonable charges reflecting the costs of compensating

jurors for their unnecessary appearance; and

(c) Such other sanctions as may seem proper to the Court under the

circumstances.

Notwithstanding compliance with L.R. 40-2, if counsel fails to inform the

court clerk of settlement by 4 p.m. on the last business day prior to trial, the

Court may assess counsel or the parties reasonable charges reflecting the

costs of compensating jurors for their unnecessary appearance.
