UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SMRIDH THAPAR,

Plaintiff,

v.

PINTEREST, INC.,

Defendant.

Case No. 19-cv-01473-SI 

ORDER CONTINUING INITIAL CASE 

MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE AND 

ORDERING SERVICE OF PROCESS

Re: Dkt. No. 4

Plaintiff Smridh Thapar, who is appearing in this case pro se, has requested that the Court 

grant an extension in this case to allow time for plaintiff to find legal representation. Dkt. No. 4. 

An initial case management conference in this case is set for June 28, 2019.

The Court GRANTS plaintiff’s request for an extension; VACATES the initial case 

management conference set for June 28, 2019; and CONTINUES the initial case management 

conference to August 30, 2019, at 2:30 p.m., in Courtroom 1, 17th Floor, of the San Francisco 

Courthouse located at 450 Golden Gate Avenue. The Court cautions that it will not be inclined to 

grant another extension of the case management conference and that plaintiff will be expected to 

appear at this conference even if plaintiff has not secured legal representation by this time. A joint 

case management statement is due no later than August 23, 2019. See Civil Local Rule 16-9(a).

Additionally, it appears that defendant has not yet been served in this case. The Court 

advises that free information is available to pro se litigants from the Legal Help Desk, if needed. 

Help Desks are located at the San Francisco and Oakland Courthouses and assistance is available 

by appointment. Phone appointments are also available. To make an appointment, call: (415) 782-

8982. See also http://cand.uscourts.gov/helpcentersf. The Legal Help Desk can provide plaintiff 

with information about how to accomplish service of process.
