A scheduling conference is set for January 6, 2026, in this matter. (ECF No. 5.) The

Local Rule 110 provides that “[f]ailure of counsel or of a party to comply with these
22
Rules or with any order of the Court may be grounds for imposition by the Court of any and all
23
sanctions . . . within the inherent power of the Court.” The Court has the inherent power to
24
control its docket and may, in the exercise of that power, impose sanctions where appropriate,
25
including dismissal of the action. Bautista v. Los Angeles County, 216 F.3d 837, 841 (9th Cir.
26
2000).
