No. C 10-03231 WHA

A series of large-scale criminal trials are underway before the undersigned judge.

16

Because these trials consume an unusual amount of time and resources, motions in civil cases will

17

be considered and heard only on a selective basis. Except for discovery disputes, no motions may

18

be filed in this action without prior written approval. A party seeking approval to file a motion

19

must file a précis that summarizes the essence of the motion and explains its urgency. Any party

20

opposing approval to file based on the précis may file an opposition by noon on the second

21

business day following the day on which the précis was filed. Both the précis and the opposition

22

must be three double-spaced pages or shorter and may not contain footnotes or attachments.

23

After considering the précis and the opposition (if any), the Court will either grant or deny leave

24

to file the motion. If leave is granted, a briefing schedule and hearing date will be set.

25
26

IT IS SO ORDERED.
