UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JAMES ELLIS JOHNSON,

Plaintiff,

v.

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Defendant.

Case No. 13-cv-02405-JD 

ORDER RE RECONSIDERATION AND 

TRIAL EXHIBITS

Re: Dkt. Nos. 300, 301

Plaintiff asks the Court to reconsider the denial of summary judgment. Dkt. No. 300. The 

grounds for the request are largely unintelligible and the submission is again full of the invective 

and disparaging comments that the Court has previously advised plaintiff not to make in his 

filings. The request is denied for failure to comply with, or meet the standards of, Civil Local 

Rule 7-9.

Plaintiff also raises late objections to certain exhibits admitted at trial. Dkt. No. 301. The 

objections are overruled as untimely and because they lack any substantive merit under the Federal 

Rules of Evidence. 

The Court is disappointed to see that plaintiff continues to use disparaging and abusive

language in his filings. The Court has warned plaintiff on several prior occasions that such 

language is unacceptable and completely unhelpful to the resolution of this dispute. Plaintiff has 

refused to follow the Court’s admonition. From this date on, any filing that contains 

disparaging comments about opposing counsel or the Court will be stricken from the record 

without further consideration. Plaintiff is also advised that if he continues to flout this rule, the 

Court will require his proposed filings to be pre-screened and approved before they are filed in the 

record.
