Case No. 13-cv-04090-WHO
ORDER RE REQUESTS FOR
ACCOMMODATION

Re: Dkt. No. 12

United States District Court
Northern District of California

13

On January 10, 2014, in response to the pro se plaintiff’s requests

14

for accommodations in light of her disabilities, the Court explained to

15

plaintiff that electronic copies of all documents filed in this case were

16

accessible through the Court’s Public Access to Court Electronic Records

17
18
19
20

(PACER) system at http://cand.uscourts.gov/cm-ecf. The Court also
provided plaintiff with a PACER login and issued a fee waiver.
Plaintiff has contacted the Court again to explain that she really

21

wants a CD containing copies of all documents that have been filed in this

22

case with the document text “in 16 point font.” Docket No. 12. As

23

explained to plaintiff in the prior Order, through PACER plaintiff can

24

access electronic copies of all documents and then she can enlarge the

25

font and view the documents in any size she chooses. The Court does not

26
27
28

have the resources to provide CDs of materials that have been and will be
filed in this case, and electronic access through PACER should meet

1

plaintiff’s need for enlarged font.
However, if plaintiff has an email account, the Court can also set

2
3

plaintiff up to receive email case notifications. If she signs up for email

4

notification, she will receive an email every time a document, order, or

5
6
7
8

notice is filed in this case. The email will contain a link, allowing
plaintiff to immediately open and save the document, order, or notice on
her computer. If plaintiff wishes to receive email notifications she should
contact the Electronic Case Filing (ECF) help desk by calling 1-866-638-

10

7829 or sending an email to “[e-mail]” and ask

11
United States District Court
Northern District of California

9

for assistance in setting up a “Special Mailing Group” account for this

12

case.

13

At the Case Management Conference on January 7, 2014, the Court

14
15

told plaintiff that her complaint should be served within 120 days of the

16

date it was filed. That date has passed. It is important that the complaint

17

be served on defendants within thirty days or else the Court may have to

18

dismiss this lawsuit without prejudice.

19

The Court again encourages plaintiff to visit the link titled “If You

20

Don’t Have a Lawyer” on the Court’s homepage,

21

www.cand.uscourts.gov. The link discusses the Court’s “Legal Help

22
23

Center” for unrepresented parties. The Legal Help Center can be reached

24

at 415-782-8982 and is located on the 15th floor, room 2796, of the

25

courthouse at 450 Golden Gate Avenue in San Francisco.

26
27

The Court sets a further Case Management Conference on April 8,
2014 at 2 p.m. in Courtroom 2. Plaintiff may appear by telephone. By

28
2

1

that time, the Court expects that defendants will be able to participate. A

2

joint Case Management Statement should be filed by April 1, 2014.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
