United States District Court

Northern District of California

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

EDUARDO GUILARTE,

Plaintiff,

v.

ANDREA MONTI, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 16-cv-01726-MMC 

ORDER DIRECTING DEFENDANT 

MONTI TO SERVE NOTICE ON

CALIFORNIA ATTORNEY GENERAL; 

REVISING BRIEFING SCHEDULE ON 

DEFENDANT MONTI’S MOTION TO 

DISMISS; CONTINUING CASE 

MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE

On August 31, 2016, plaintiff Eduardo Guilarte ("Guilarte") filed his Second 

Amended Complaint, in which he alleges that his state law claims against defendant 

Andrea Monti ("Monti") are timely in light of § 351 of the California Code of Civil 

Procedure. In response thereto, Monti filed, on September 14, 2016, a motion to dismiss, 

in which Monti argues, inter alia, § 351 is unconstitutional as applied to the allegations in 

the SAC. Monti has not, however, complied with the Local Rules of this District, as she 

has not filed any document demonstrating she has provided notice of said constitutional 

challenge to the California Attorney Attorney. See Civil L.R. 3-8(b). 

Accordingly, no later than September 23, 2016, Monti shall file with the Clerk of 

Court, and serve on the California Attorney General, a Notice of Claim of 

Unconstitutionality with a copy of the motion to dismiss and a copy of this Order attached 

thereto. Proof of such service shall be filed concurrently therewith. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 

5.1(a)(2).

In light of the above, the Court sets the following revised schedule as to Monti's 

motion to dismiss:

1. Guilarte shall file his opposition no later than November 23, 2016.

2. If the State of California wishes to intervene for the purpose of responding to 

Monti's constitutional challenge to § 351, it shall do so and file its response no later than 

November 23, 2016. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 5.1(c).

3. Monti shall file any reply no later than December 2, 2016.

4. The hearing on Monti's motion to dismiss is hereby CONTINUED from October 

21, 2016, to December 16, 2016, at 9:00 a.m.

5. The Case Management Conference is hereby CONTINUED from October 7,

filed no later than January 13, 2017.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
