IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

GARRED FARRELL NORMAN,

Plaintiff,

v.

FEDERAL BUREAU OF 

INVESTIGATION, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 19-cv-01173-MMC 

ORDER DIRECTING PLAINTIFF TO 

DELIVER DOCUMENTS TO SAN 

FRANCISCO DIVISION; DENYING 

MOTION FOR LEAVE TO PAY FILING 

FEE IN INSTALLMENTS; EXTENDING 

DEADLINE TO FILE AMENDED 

APPLICATION TO PROCEED IN 

FORMA PAUPERIS OR PAY FILING 

FEE; DENYING MOTION TO 

SUPPLEMENT COMPLAINT AND TO 

APPOINT COUNSEL

Before the Court are three documents, titled, respectively, "Motion in Response to 

I.F.P./Request for an Attorney," "Installment Agreement," and "Motion to Supplement 

Civil Rights Complaint/Request for Attorney," each filed April 1, 2019. Having read and 

considered the above-referenced filings, the Court rules as follows:

1. On March 28, 2019, plaintiff delivered the three documents to the Office of the 

Clerk, Oakland Division.1 Under the Local Rules of this District, however, documents that 

are manually filed "must be delivered to the Office of the Clerk . . . in the courthouse in 

which the chambers of the Judge to whom the action has been assigned . . . are located." 

See Civil L.R. 5-2(a). As the chambers of the undersigned are located in San Francisco, 

plaintiff is hereby DIRECTED to deliver all future filings, either in person or by mail, to the 

Office of the Clerk, San Francisco Division, 450 Golden Gate Avenue, 16th Floor, San 

 

1The Oakland Division subsequently forwarded the documents to the San 

Francisco Division for filing.

United States District Court

Northern District of California

Francisco, CA, 94102.

2. Plaintiff's "Motion in Response to I.F.P.," which the Court construes as a 

request to allow plaintiff to pay the $400 filing fee in installments, is hereby DENIED.2 In 

light, however, of plaintiff's statement therein that he expects to receive a "commission 

check" (see Mot., second page), the deadline for plaintiff to either file an amended 

application to proceed in forma pauperis or, alternatively, to submit the entire $400 filing 

fee in a single payment is hereby EXTENDED to May 3, 2019.

3. Plaintiff's motion to supplement his complaint is hereby DENIED as premature, 

as the instant action cannot proceed at this time, given plaintiff's failure, as of today's 

date, to either pay the filing fee or obtain permission to proceed in forma pauperis.

4. Plaintiff's request for appointment of counsel is hereby DENIED, both as 

premature and because plaintiff has failed to show he is entitled to such relief.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: April 2, 2019
