ORDER FINDING GOOD CAUSE
SHOWN AND SETTING BRIEFING
AND HEARING SCHEDULE

WELLS FARGO BANK NA,
Defendant.
/

On December 9, 2011, pro se plaintiff Ellis Brown was ordered to show cause why his

17

claims against defendant Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., should not be dismissed for his failure to

18

oppose defendant’s motion to dismiss. Plaintiff has responded by way of submitting a “motion to

19

show cause” (Dkt. No. 23). Good cause having been shown, plaintiff shall file an opposition to

20

the motion to dismiss by JANUARY 9, 2012. Defendant’s reply brief is due JANUARY 17. The

21

motion will be heard at 8 A.M. ON JANUARY 26.

22

In plaintiff’s response to the order to show cause, he “request[s] a Motion to Show Cause

23

to require Wells Fargo Bank” to answer specific questions, which plaintiff sets forth in his

24

submission, to “restrain [Wells Fargo] from taking any further action that is designed to

25

intimidate or embarrass plaintiff,” and to require Wells Fargo to pay plaintiff $1,000,000 in

26

damages to plaintiff (Dkt. No. 23 at 5). These requests are not made on a properly noticed

27
28

1

motion. To the extent that plaintiff requests this Court to order defendant to show cause and grant

2

the above-described relief, the request is DENIED.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
