                             ORDER

   The court has considered the “amicus curiae” letter
submitted in support of this petition for writ of mandamus by
Downtown LA Motors LP.




 *
    The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision
without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).
               IN RE: CON -WAY FREIGHT INC.                   3

    The motion of American Trucking Associations, Inc. and
California Trucking Association for leave to file a brief amici
curiae is granted. The Clerk shall amend the docket to reflect
this status and shall file the amicus brief submitted on April
9, 2013.

   Petitioner’s request for judicial notice is granted.

    Petitioner has not demonstrated that this case warrants the
intervention of this court by means of the extraordinary
remedy of mandamus. See Bauman v. United States Dist.
Court, 557 F.2d 650 (9th Cir. 1977). Indeed, we find the
petition to be frivolous and wholly without merit.
Accordingly, the petition is denied.

    Within 21 days after the date of this order, counsel Barrett
Green, Richard H. Rahm, and Angela J. Rafoth of Littler
Mendelson P.C. shall show cause in writing why monetary
sanctions should not be imposed against counsel individually
for filing a frivolous petition for writ of mandamus. See
9th Cir. R. 46-2(d), (I); 9th Cir. Gen. Ord. 12.9(a); see also
9th Cir. R. 46-2 advisory committee’s note (8) (court may
impose monetary sanctions under inherent powers of the
court); Chambers v. Nasco, Inc., 501 U.S. 32, 45–51 (1991).

    Counsel’s failure to file a timely response will result in
the imposition of sanctions without further notice.

    Counsel’s response to the order to show cause is referred
to the Appellate Commissioner, who shall conduct whatever
proceedings he deems appropriate and shall have authority to
4             IN RE: CON -WAY FREIGHT INC.

enter an order, including an order imposing monetary
sanctions.

    DENIED.
