Re: Dkt. Nos. 4, 5

Defendant.

United States District Court
Northern District of California

Plaintiff has filed two letters seeking clarification as to why this bankruptcy appeal was

12

assigned to a judge in San Francisco (when plaintiff lives in Alameda County), and asking for

13

permission to be allowed to file documents electronically. Dkt. Nos. 4, 5.

14

Under the Court’s Civil Local Rules, a civil action which arises in Alameda County will be

15

automatically assigned to either the San Francisco Division or the Oakland Division of this Court.

16

Civ. L.R. 3-2(d). There is no procedure by which civil cases arising in Alameda County are

17

specifically assigned to a judge in the Oakland Division.

18

With respect to the request to be allowed to file electronically, plaintiff must file a formal

19

motion. A sample motion is attached and available at the following website:
