- 1 - 06CV1528 WQH (PCL)

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

REGINALD GARY,

Plaintiff,

CASE NO. 06CV1528 WQH (PCL)

ORDER RE: MOTION FOR

SECTION 998 COMPROMISE

OFFER

vs.

HAWTHRON, et al.,

Defendants.

HAYES, Judge:

On April 16, 2007, Plaintiff filed a document titled “Motion for Section 998 Compromise

Offer to Defendants.” (Doc. # 36). After reviewing the document in its entirety, the Court concludes

that the “motion” does not seek or request affirmative relief from the Court. Accordingly, the Court

construes the document as a “Notice” rather than a “Motion.” (Doc. # 36). 

On pages 8-10 of the notice, Plaintiff poses a series of questions to the Court, e.g. “[d]oes a

second section 998 offer from me revoke an earlier such offer?” (Doc. # 36 at 8). After reviewing

the questions, the Court concludes that they constitute improper requests for legal advice. As the

Court cannot give legal advice, the Court will not address the questions. See In re Best, No. C 01-

2851 SI (pr), 2001 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 12825, *2 (N.D. Cal. Aug. 17, 2001).

IT IS SO ORDERED.

DATED: April 18, 2007
