On September 21, 2016, defendant Tesla Motors, Inc. (“Tesla”) filed a motion to
14
dismiss plaintiff’s complaint and a request for judicial notice in support thereof. On
15
September 26, 2016, the above-titled action was reassigned to the undersigned. On
16
September 28, 2016, Tesla renoticed its motion for hearing on November 4, 2016.
17
The record does not indicate, however, that Tesla manually served its motion,
18
request for judicial notice, or renotice on plaintiff, who is appearing pro se. See Civil L.R.

5-1(b) (“Parties represented by counsel in a case involving a pro se party must file
20
documents electronically and serve them manually on the pro se party unless the pro se
21
party has been granted permission to become an ECF user.”).1
22
Accordingly, the following service and briefing schedule shall apply:
1. No later than October 4, 2016, Tesla shall manually serve upon plaintiff
23
24
copies of its motion to dismiss, request for judicial notice, and renotice of its motion;

Plaintiff has not moved for permission to become an ECF user in this case, and
thus no order has been issued by an assigned judge granting such permission. See Civil
L.R. 5-1(b) (permitting pro se party to become ECF user if said party “moves for and is
granted permission by the assigned judge” to do so).
