IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

FRANCISCO CARRASCAL,

Plaintiff,

 v.

DEANNA AVAKIAN, et al.,

Defendants. /

No. C 10-02582 JSW

ORDER GRANTING, IN PART,

PLAINTIFF’S REQUEST FOR

CONTINUANCE AND

MODIFYING BRIEFING

SCHEDULE

This matter is set for a hearing on September 3, 2010, on a Motion to Dismiss or, in the

Alternative, a Motion for a More Definite Statement, filed by Defendant Blanca Vazquez,

erroneously sued as Blanca Castellanos-Chavez (“Chavez”), and Motions to Dismiss, or in the

Alternative, for a More Definite Statement and to Strike Portions of Plaintiff’s Complaint filed

by Defendants PNC Bank and Deanna Avakian (“the PNC Bank Defendants”). 

On July 7, 2010 and July 19, 2010, the Court issued orders setting briefing schedules on

the motions filed by Chavez and the PNC Bank Defendants, pursuant to which Plaintiff’s

opposition briefs were due on August 6, 2010.

On July 26, 2010, Defendant Federal National Mortgage Association, sued as “Fannie

Mae” also filed a motion to dismiss and noticed that motion for hearing on September 3, 2010. 

On July 27, 2010, Defendant Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. filed a Notice of Joinder in each of the

other Defendants’ motions. 

On August 9, 2010, Plaintiff filed a document entitled “Motion to Postpone the Date of

Case Management Conference scheduled for September 3, 2010 at 9:00 a.m.” In that

document, Plaintiff requests a continuance of approximately 30 days “to prepare a strong

defense of myself.”

In light of the motions that were filed subsequent to the Court’s previous orders setting

briefing schedules, the Court shall grant Plaintiff’s request in part. The Court shall grant one

final continuance of the hearings on the motions to dismiss and one final extension of the

briefing schedules on the motions, although it shall not grant Plaintiff a full thirty days to

oppose the motions.

Accordingly, the hearing set for September 3, 2010 is HEREBY CONTINUED to

October 8, 2010 at 9:00 a.m. 

It is FURTHER ORDERED that Plaintiff’s opposition briefs to each of the Defendants’

motions and to Wells Fargo’s notice of joinder shall be due by no later September 3, 2010, and

Defendants’ reply briefs shall be due on September 10, 2010. Plaintiff is HEREBY ADVISED

that if he fails to file his opposition briefs by this date, the Court may dismiss this case without

prejudice for failure to prosecute or, in the alternative, may rule on the merits of Defendants’

motions. If the Court finds the matter suitable for disposition without oral argument, it shall

notify the parties in advance of the hearing. 

 It is FURTHER ORDERED that the initial case management conference scheduled for

September 17, 2010 at 1:30 p.m. is VACATED and shall be reset if necessary after the hearing

on the motions to dismiss.

Finally, the Court again advises Plaintiff that a Handbook for Pro Se Litigants, which

contains helpful information about proceeding without an attorney, is available through the

Court’s website or in the Clerk’s office. Plaintiff also may wish to seek assistance from the

Legal Help Center. Plaintiffs may call the Legal Help Center at 415-782-9000, extension 8657,

or sign up on the 15th Floor of the Courthouse, Room 2796, for a free appointment with an

attorney who may be able to provide basic legal help, but not legal representation. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: August 10, 2010
