On August 29, 2016, the Court held a Final Pretrial Conference. Attorney
Joseph Fischback appeared on behalf of Plaintiff. No appearances were made by
Defendants Yovan Garcia; Mher Uzunyan, individually and doing business as PTS

The Court GRANTED Plaintiff’s unopposed Motion in Limine No. 1 to
Exclude Undisclosed Witnesses and Exhibits, filed August 8, 2016. (Docket No.

Each Defendant is ORDERED to show cause as to why terminating

Tyan, Inc., et al. v. Yovan Garcia, et al.

However, this District does have a “Pro Se Clinic” that can provide information
and assistance about many aspects of civil litigation in this Court. The Clinic is
administered by Public Counsel, a public interest law firm, and it is staffed by
lawyers and a paralegal. In order to benefit from the guidance that the Clinic may
be in a position to provide, a pro se litigant has to go there directly. The Pro Se
Clinic is open to members of the public on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays,
and is open from 9:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. (noon) and from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Individuals seeking assistance are seen on a first-come, first-served basis. The
clinic is located in Room G-19 on the Main Street level of the United States
Courthouse, 312 North Spring Street, Los Angeles, California.
Although the Clinic does not provide assistance telephonically, a pro se
litigant may call the Clinic to obtain further information. The telephone number is
[phone], ext. 270. Again, the Clinic does not provide any assistance over
the telephone; the purpose of a telephone call would be only to get more
information about the Clinic. In addition, the Court has information of importance
to pro se litigants at the “People Without Lawyers” link on its website,
http://www.cacd.uscourts.gov.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
