Jeremiah W. Balik has filed this suit against Defendants Toy Talk and Mattel, Inc. See

13

ECF No. 34 (“Second Amended Complaint”). During the pendency of this case, Mr. Balik has

14

sent the undersigned’s Courtroom Deputy numerous e-mails that he appears to believe are related

15

to his case and should be shared with the Court. These e-mails include links to youtube.com

16

videos and copies of e-mail chains pertaining to cases that are not before this Court.
The Clerk’s Office has repeatedly advised Mr. Balik that the use of the Courtroom

17
18

Deputy’s e-mail address should be limited to inquiries related to docketing or the scheduling of

19

upcoming hearings. If Mr. Balik intends to communicate anything to the Court related to the

20

merits of his case, he must do so in a properly filed submission with the Court. Mr. Balik has also

21

been advised that he cannot e-file documents through the use of e-mail. He must instead file

22

documents by paper or through the Court’s CM/ECF system.
