 WHEREAS defendants, City and County of San Francisco, et al, intend to file an 

opposition to plaintiff's request for certification that plaintiff's appeal is not frivolous and 

plaintiff's motion for transcripts at government expense; 

 WHEREAS plaintiff seeks relief under a federal statute (i.e., 28 USC §753(f)), the 

characterization of the motion as an "administrative request" pursuant to Civ. L.R. 7-11 may be 

in error as Civ. L.R. 7-11 specifically precludes from administrative relief "matters, not 

otherwise governed by federal statute." Civ. L.R. 7-11; 

 WHEREAS plaintiff is seeking relief governed by 28 USC §753(f), a federal statute, the 

parties have met and conferred and defendants have stated that the relief sought is not 

"administrative" in nature; 

 WHEREAS the time limits to respond are different when opposing a motion for 

administrative relief1, than when opposing a regularly noticed motion,2 and because the Ninth 

Circuit Order of May 10, 2007, states that transcripts are due on June 25, 2007, and because 

defendants recognize that a shorter briefing schedule than that dictated under Civ. L.R. 7-2 may 

be appropriate; 

 WHEREAS the parties have met and conferred regarding a briefing schedule and have 

STIPULATED that defendants shall file an opposition to plaintiff's motion by TUESDAY, MAY 

29, 2007.

 Civ. L.R. 7-11 requires an opposition three days after the filing of such a motion. L.R. 

7-11(b); FRCP Rule 6 adds additional time if the third day falls on a weekend. 

2

 Civ. L.R. 7-2 requires 35 days notice and an opposition 21 days before the hearing date.
