On August 1, 2016, this court issued an Order in which it unequivocally stated that no

25

party to this action was to file any further motions or requests unless it had first followed an

26

emergency procedure laid out in the Order. The procedure required any party wishing to seek

27

access to the court to first obtain permission by “making a request detailing the need for it” to

28

which the opposing party could respond within five court days.

Despite this Order Plaintiff has filed a Motion for a Preliminary Injunction and purported

2

to set it for hearing on September 22, 2016, ECF No. 97, and a Motion for a Stay without a

3

hearing date. ECF No. 102. These actions are in direct violation of this court’s order and the

4

court will not calendar them for hearing or consider their merits at this time. Pending matters

5

vacated from the Court’s September 22, 2016, calendar by that order remain under submission

6

and will be decided by the court without further argument.
