ORDER STRIKING FILED
DOCUMENTS
(as listed below)

Pursuant to Local Rule 26-8, discovery-related documents are not to be filed unless ordered

14

by the Court. On June 11, 2012, Magistrate Judge Johnston struck an Amended Notice of

15

Deposition filed by Plaintiff. Docket No. 47 (striking document filed at Docket No. 45). Also on

16

June 11, 2012, Magistrate Judge Johnston struck a Second Amended Notice of Deposition filed by

17

Plaintiff. Docket No. 48 (striking document filed at Docket No. 46). On June 28, 2012, Magistrate

18

Judge Johnston struck a Notice of Deposition filed by Plaintiff. Docket No. 55 (striking document

19

filed at Docket No. 37). Also on June 28, 2012, Magistrate Judge Johnston struck another Notice of

20

Deposition filed by Plaintiff. Docket No. 56 (striking document filed at Docket No. 43). In each of

21

these Orders, Judge Johnston stated that, “pursuant to LR 26-8 discovery related papers are not to be

22

filed unless ordered by the Court. No such order has been entered by the Court in this case.”

(Docket Nos. 47, 48, 55, 56).

17

Parties are required to follow this Court’s orders and the Local Rules. See, e.g., Local Rule

18

IA 4-1; Fed. R. Civ. P. 16(f). Compliance of the Local Rules is always expected, but especially so

19

after the Court has previously identified a particular violation of the Local Rules. In this case, 42 of

20

the 45 documents identified above were filed after Magistrate Judge Johnston’s four orders striking

21

similar documents from the docket. The Court reminds Plaintiff and Plaintiff’s attorney that failure

22

to follow the Local Rules and abide by Court orders can result in sanctions. See, e.g., Local Rule IA

23

4-1; Fed. R. Civ. P. 16(f).
