IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

PATRICIA DESANTIS, et al.,

Plaintiffs,

 v.

CITY OF SANTA ROSA, et al.,

Defendants.

 /

No. C 07-03386 JSW

ORDER REQUIRING FURTHER

BRIEFING ON DEFENDANTS’

MOTION FOR JUDGMENT AS A

MATTER OF LAW AND

CONTINUING HEARING

Now before the Court is the motion for judgment as a matter of law filed by Defendants. 

Despite the fact that all the transcript of the trial is now available, Plaintiff fail to cite to any

portions of the transcript in their opposition to Defendants’ motion. Therefore, Plaintiffs’

opposition is woefully inadequate. However, in the interests of justice, the Court is providing

Plaintiffs with one more opportunity to oppose the motion. Plaintiffs shall file an amended

opposition brief by no later than January 11, 2013. In their amended opposition, Plaintiffs shall

take care to cite to the specific portions of the transcript in support of their arguments. Plaintiffs

are admonished that if Plaintiffs summarize or characterize the evidence without providing the

supporting cites, the Court will not consider such unsupported statements.
