JOHN BERMAN

Plaintiff,

v.

DAVID MODELL

Defendant.

Case No. 3:15-cv-04895 HSG 

CONDITIONAL ORDER GRANTING 

PLAINTIFF’S REQUEST TO E-FILE; 

ORDER GRANTING IN PART 

PLAINTIFF’S MOTION ENLARGING 

TIME TO FILE OPPOSITION BRIEF

Docket Nos.: 6, 8

This Order addresses two requests filed by Plaintiff John Berman (“Plaintiff”).

First, Plaintiff has asked for the Court's leave to participate in Electronic Case Filing 

(ECF). Plaintiff has not, however, filed a declaration stating that he has read General Order

45 and that he is able to comply with all of its requirements. Accordingly, the Court GRANTS

his motion to participate in ECF on the condition that he reads General Order 45 and files the 

required declaration by December 1, 2015. If Plaintiff fails to file such a declaration by that time, 

the Court will revoke his ECF privileges until he complies with this Order. As part of Plaintiff’s 

obligations under General Order 45, he shall provide a printed courtesy copy of any document 

he files via ECF to the chambers of the presiding judge. This copy must be lodged with the 

Clerk of the Court no later than noon on the business day after filing the document on ECF.

Second, Plaintiff previously moved for an extension of time to file his opposition to 

Defendant's motion to dismiss or transfer venue, Dkt. No. 7, and to continue the hearing date on 

Defendant’s motion until after his motion to remand, Dkt. No. 5, is heard. Dkt. No. 8. The

Court granted in part Plaintiff’s motion in a text-only order. Dkt. No. 10. For administrative 

reasons, that text-only order is hereby replaced with this Order. Plaintiff’s deadline to file his 

opposition to Defendant’s motion to dismiss or transfer venue is hereby extended to November
