1 Plaintiff is advised that notwithstanding his pro se status, he is expected to comply

with the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and the Civil Local Rules. To that end, plaintiff’s

attention is directed to Civil Local Rule 7.1.b: “All hearing dates for any matters on which a

ruling is required shall be obtained from the clerk of the judge to whom the case is assigned.” 

Here, plaintiff has attempted to file a motion without first obtaining a hearing date from

chambers. Any further failure to obtain a hearing date prior to the filing of a motion will likely

result in the strike of the motion.
