ORDER DENYING AS UNNECESSARY
PLAINTIFF’S MOTION FOR LEAVE TO
FILE AN AMENDED COMPLAINT;
DIRECTING PARTIES TO MEET AND
CONFER REGARDING PLAINTIFF’S
MOTION FOR A TEMPORARY
RESTRAINING ORDER AND/OR
PERMANENT INJUNCTION

In an order filed November 14, 2013, the Court dismissed the complaint and granted plaintiff
leave to file an amended complaint. The Court informed plaintiff that if she chose to amend the
complaint, the amended complaint shall be filed no later than November 26, 2013.
On November 22, 2013, plaintiff filed a motion for leave to file an amended complaint. Docket
No. 30. The motion is DENIED as unnecessary as the Court has already granted plaintiff leave to file
an amended complaint. Plaintiff is directed to file the amended complaint that is attached as Exhibit
1 to Docket 30 no later than November 26, 2013.
In the motion to amend, plaintiff notes that she is representing herself and that she does not have
a legal education. The Court has previously advised plaintiff that assistance is available at the Northern
District’s Pro Se Help Desk (415-782-8982), and see also http://cand.uscourts.gov/helpcentersf. If
plaintiff has not already done so, the Court strongly encourages plaintiff to seek assistance from the Pro

1

Se Help Desk.

2

On November 22, 2013, plaintiff also filed a motion for a temporary restraining and/or

3

preliminary injunction. Docket No. 29. It is unclear from plaintiff’s motion if a trustee’s sale has been

4

scheduled. The Court directs the parties to meet and confer regarding plaintiff’s motion and to agree

5

on a briefing schedule if possible. In light of the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday, the parties shall

6

inform the Court of the status of a trustee’s sale and briefing schedule by letter as soon as possible but

7

no later than December 2, 2013.
