United States District Court

Northern District of California

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

CHASE MASON,

Plaintiff,

v.

SCOTT GARNER, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 18-cv-07093-EJD (SVK)

ORDER CONTINUING THE ORDER

TO SHOW CAUSE HEARING AND 

ISSUING TEMPORARY STAY 

OF PROCEEDINGS

The Court is in receipt of Plaintiff’s Notice of Debilitation of Counsel (“Plaintiff’s 

Notice”), which appears to have been submitted to the Court on an ex parte basis without filing or 

notice to Defense counsel. As Plaintiff’s Notice contains personal information which may be 

considered confidential, the Court has provided a copy to Defense counsel under separate cover. 

Plaintiff’s request for an accommodation under the Americans with Disabilities Act 

(“ADA”) from this Court is inappropriate. 42 U.S.C. § 12111(5)(B) (stating that “[t]he term 

‘employer’ does not include the United States”). In light of the circumstances presented, the Court 

will authorize Plaintiff’s Notice as a request for an emergency stay pursuant to Civil L.R. 7-10. 

Plaintiff’s request is GRANTED. The Order to Show Cause hearing currently set for September 

3, 2019, is CONTINUED to October 29, 2019, at 10:00 a.m. Parties must submit a status report 

no later than October 22, 2019. If Plaintiff’s current counsel is unable to continue representation 

in this matter, Plaintiff is directed to file a notice of substitution of counsel no later than October 

22, 2019. 

SO ORDERED.

Dated: August 30, 2019
