JOHN McHUGH, SECRETARY OF THE
ARMY,

13

Defendant.

15

Plaintiff sent a copy of the attached letter to the Court. Plaintiff is admonished

16

that ex parte communications with a judge are inappropriate in most circumstances.

17

See Local Rules, Part II, LR 7-6. Moreover, a document requesting a Court order must

18

be styled as a motion, not a letter (see F.R.C.P. 7). Letters to a judge will be

19

disregarded. To the extent Plaintiff wishes to ask for an extension of time to file his

20

response to the motion to dismiss, Plaintiff should reach out to the defendant’s counsel

21

to secure a stipulation for extension of time first before filing a motion requesting an

22

extension. The Court will not take any action in response to the letter.

23

DATED THIS 8th day of February 2016.
