UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DAVID MAURICE GOMEZ,

Plaintiff,

v.

WARDEN A. K. SCRIBNER, et al.,

Defendants.

 /

CASE NO. 1:03-CV-6290-OWW-LJO-P

ORDER STRIKING DECLARATION DUE TO

LACK OF CERTIFICATE OF SERVICE

STATING DECLARATION WAS SERVED ON

DEFENDANTS’ COUNSEL

(Doc. 77)

On September 26, 2005, plaintiff filed a declaration. Each filing submitted to the court must

be served on defendants’ counsel and must include a certificate of service stating that the filing was

served on defendants’ counsel. Fed. R. Civ. P. 5; Local Rule 5-135; 1st Informational Order, filed

October 10, 2003, ¶ 4. Plaintiff’s declaration did not include the requisite certificate of service.

Accordingly, it shall be stricken from the record. See 1st Info. Order, ¶ 4.

Further, pursuant to the court’s order of September 12, 2005, plaintiff may file a new

opposition to defendants’ motion for summary judgment. As the court previously admonished

defendants’ counsel, parties may not supplement their filings piecemeal without court permission.

If plaintiff intends to file a new opposition, any and all filings relating to the opposition, including

declarations and other evidence, must be submitted together. If plaintiff does not intend to file a new

opposition, but wants to add his declaration as evidence in support of his previously filed opposition,

plaintiff must submit, with the declaration, a motion seeking leave to supplement his previously filed

opposition.

on defendants’ counsel.
