NELSON CARBALLO,

Plaintiff,

 v.

COMCAST INC., et al.,

Defendants. /

No. C-13-5572 MMC

ORDER GRANTING DEFENDANT

COMMUNICATION WORKERS OF

AMERICA’S REQUEST FOR

RECONSIDERATION OF ORDER

STRIKING JOINDER IN COMCAST,

INC.’S MOTION FOR SUMMARY

JUDGMENT; DIRECTIONS TO CWA

By order filed August 6, 2015, the Court ordered stricken from the record defendant

Communication Workers of America’s (“CWA”) “Joinder with Defendant Comcast’s Motion

for Summary Judgment,” as a sanction for CWA’s fourth violation of Civil Local Rule 5-

1(e)(7) and the Court’s Standing Orders, which Rule and Orders require a party to provide

a timely chambers copy of each e-filed document. Later that same day, CWA, in response

thereto, filed a declaration by one of its attorneys, Caren P. Sencer, in which said counsel

explains the procedure by which the firm endeavors to have chambers copies delivered by

a third party, specifically, First Legal Network (“First Legal”), and, in addition, requests

reconsideration of the Court’s order striking the Joinder.1 Thereafter, on August 7, 2015,

Plaintiff has filed opposition to the Joinder, and CWA has replied thereto. 

Consequently, the issues addressed in the Joinder have been fully briefed.

2

CWA filed a “Response to the Court’s Order to Strike” along with a declaration by First

Legal’s office manager, Pablo Rios, who states First Legal timely received CWA’s Joinder

but, for reasons yet to be determined, did not deliver it.

In light of the above, the Court hereby GRANTS the request for reconsideration,

SETS ASIDE its order striking CWA’s Joinder, and will consider the arguments set forth in

the Joinder.2

The Court notes, however, that it has yet to receive a chambers copy of either the

Joinder, or the declaration filed in support thereof, and CWA is hereby DIRECTED to

deliver such copies forthwith.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: August 18, 2015
