ORDER

IT IS ORDERED that Plaintiff’s renewed motion for discovery (Doc. 191) is denied.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Plaintiff’s motion to strike the answer of

Defendant Business Recovery Service LLC (“BRS”) (Doc. 199) is granted; the amended

answer of BRS filed at Doc. 176 is stricken (this Order does not affect the answer of Brian

Hessler, which is also part of Doc. 176). Plaintiff may move for entry of default against BRS

within 60 days. Plaintiff may move for default judgment against BRS within 90 days.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Plaintiff’s motion to exceed page limit (Doc. 204)

is granted; the Clerk of the Court shall file the Motion for Summary Judgment and Exhibits

found at Doc. 204, attachments 2-14.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Court notes it previously ordered Mr. Hessler

to update his address (Doc. 201). Mr. Hessler failed to comply with that order. The

Government appears to be serving Mr. Hessler via email (see Doc. 204 at 3). The Court will

not send documents to Mr. Hessler by email and will not continue to rely on the Government

 In this circuit, the Court may not grant a motion for summary judgment as a sanction

for failing to respond to the motion. Martinez v. Stanford, 323 F.3d 1178, 1183 (9th Cir.

2003). However, this Court can dismiss a case for failing to comply with Court orders,

failing to prosecute or failing to defend. See Henderson v. Duncan, 779 F.2d 1421, 1423 (9th

Cir. 1986).

to provide Mr. Hessler with copies of Court orders. Further, the Court will not allow a

litigant to disregard a Court order. Thus, Mr. Hessler must update his address with the Court

by April 5, 2013. Mr. Hessler shall also respond to the Government’s motion for summary

judgment by April 5, 2013. If Mr. Hessler fails to do both of these things, the Government

may move to strike his answer for failing to comply with a Court order pursuant to Federal

Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b).1

 If the Government so moves, the Government may also

include Mr. Hessler personally in their motions for entry of default and default judgment.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED granting motion to submit certain exhibits nonelectronically (Doc. 205); Plaintiff shall deliver these exhibits (if it has not already done so)

to the Clerk of the Court within 14 days; IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that within 30 days,

Plaintiff shall also file a transcript of all recordings (Plaintiff shall file this as an additional

attachment to their motion for summary judgment).

IT IS FINALLY ORDERED that the Government shall send a copy of this Order

to Mr. Hessler.

DATED this 6th day of March, 2013.
