It has come to the Court’s attention that Plaintiff Eugene Forte has been emailing chambers

13 seeking legal advice in connection with this matter. Plaintiff asks the Court to calculate the due date
14 of his First Amended Complaint. Computing any time period in federal court is governed by Federal
15 Rules of Civil Procedure and therefore not a proper inquiry for the Court. Fed. R. Civ. P. 6(a).
16 Plaintiff is informed that that Court cannot provide legal advice or act as advocate for any litigant. See
17 Rao v. AmerisourceBergen Corp., No. CIV S-08-1527 DAD PS, 2011 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 41371, 2011
18 WL 1464378, at *1 (E.D. Cal. Apr. 15, 2011). Further, ex parte communications, including requests
19 for legal advice, are not permitted. Plaintiff is ordered to cease and desist any contact with the Court
20 and Court staff unless it is in the context of a lawfully brought motion, filed pursuant to law and
21 procedure, and made publicly viewable on the docket. Failure to abide by this Order will result in
22 sanctions, including the possibility of dismissal of the pending case.
23 IT IS SO ORDERED.
