IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

CLARE F.NELSON,

Plaintiff,

 vs.

BARBARA WOODFORD, et al.,

Defendants. /

No. C-06-6485 MEJ

ORDER DIRECTING PLAINTIFF TO

LIMIT COMMUNICATION WITH THE

COURT TO WRITTEN, FILED

DOCUMENTS

 In spite of the fact that the Court has been extremely patient with the Plaintiff, and has at all

times endeavored to answer her questions and administer to her concerns, the Plaintiff has on

numerous occasions called the Court and the Clerk's office to berate the employees of this Court.

The Court recognizes that the Plaintiff is in pro se and is concerned with the outcome of her case.

The Court is also aware that a pro se plaintiff often has questions about what happens next in the

prosecution of her case, or what her next course of action should be. But there is a line between

respectful queries on the one hand, and badgering and harassment on the other. With the Plaintiff's

constant phone calls, and with the tone and content of those calls, she has crossed that line. The

Court, in the interest of justice, must therefore take the appropriate action. Therefore, the Court

hereby ORDERS that the Plaintiff refrain from calling the chambers of this court and the clerk's

office regarding this matter. It is further ORDERED that any requests or motions that the Plaintiff

has be filed with the Clerk's office, in writing. All correspondence with this Court shall be done in
