ORDER RE PRE-FILING CONFERENCE
REQUEST

v.
Re: Dkt. Nos. 96, 98
CALVIN HARRIS, ET AL.,
Defendants.

11

Northern District of California

United States District Court

12

On January 14, 2015, defendant Cherie Cabral filed a letter requesting the Court schedule a

13

pre-filing conference in connection with a contemplated motion for summary judgment. (Dkt. No.

14

96.) On January 16, 2015, defendant Calvin Harris filed a response noting the January 14 letter did

15

not address the substantive basis for the planned motion and requesting an alternative date. (Dkt. No.

16

97.) On January 21, 2015, Cabral filed a response thereto, agreeing to the alternative date and

17

stating: “we . . . will timely file our letter brief seven days prior to the scheduled conference.” (Dkt.

18

No. 98 at 2-3.)

19

Cabral’s filings do not comply with this Court’s Standing Order in Civil Cases, Paragraph

20

9(a). Those instructions require the filing of a letter brief, at least seven business days prior to the

21

proposed conference date, that explains the grounds for the motion in no more than three single-

22

spaced pages. The Court will not set a date for a pre-filing conference until movant submits a proper

23

letter brief and the deadline for a response has passed. Therefore, the Court DENIES WITHOUT

24

PREJUDICE Cabral’s requests that the Court schedule a pre-filing conference.

25

IT IS SO ORDERED.
