The following Minute Order is made at the direction of the Court, the Honorable James
P. Donohue, United States Magistrate Judge:
Plaintiff’s opening brief (Dkt. 10) fails to comply with LCR 5(f), which provides,

18

“Proof of service of all filings required or permitted to be served . . . shall be made by

19

certificate or acknowledgement of service on the document itself. Parties should not file a

20

separate proof of service document unless it is necessary.” Here, plaintiff has neither filed a

21

separate certificate of service, nor affixed a certificate of service on plaintiff’s opening brief, as

22

required by LCR 5(f). See Dkt. 10.

23

In the future, if a Certificate of Service is not appended to a brief or other filing, the

24

Court may order that the brief or other filing be stricken and re-filed in a format that otherwise

25

complies with LCR 5(f).
