ORDER VACATING

FEBRUARY 12, 2007

HEARING DATE

Defendant has noticed for hearing and decision a motion for reconsideration of the court’s

order denying Defendant’s motion for summary judgment. The matter was scheduled for

hearing to be held on February 12, 2007. Pursuant to the court’s January 4, 2007 order, Plaintiff

was required to file either an opposition or a notice of non-opposition no later than January 29,

2007.1

Plaintiff has not filed an opposition or a notice of non-opposition. The court’s docketing

system reveals that Plaintiff has not electronically filed an opposition through the court’s

electronic filing system. However, it appears Plaintiff did E-mail a copy of her opposition to

Defendant, and Plaintiff may have also E-mailed a copy to the undersigned’s Courtroom Deputy. 

 These E-mailings do not constitute filing. Local Rule 5-133 reads as follows:

(a) Electronic Filing. The Eastern District of California is an electronic case

management/filing district (CM/ECF). Unless excused by the Court or by the

electronic filing procedures set forth in these Rules, attorneys shall file all

documents electronically pursuant to those Rules. All complaints, and subsequent

motions, pleadings, briefs, exhibits, and all other documents in a case shall be

electronically filed except as otherwise provided by these Rules. . . .

Local Rule 5-134(a) specifically states that “E-mailing a document to the Clerk's Office or to the

Court (as opposed to Internet electronic filing) shall not constitute "filing" of the document. . . .” 

At this time, the court does not have before it a properly filed opposition. In addition,

because the court’s E-mail system was not designed to receive briefs that should have been

properly filed electronically, the court is unable to procure even a courtesy copy of Plaintiff’s

opposition.

Due to Plaintiff’s failure to file a timely opposition or notice of non-opposition, she is in

violation of the Local Rules. See 78-230(c). Plaintiff is not entitled to be heard at oral argument

in opposition to the motion. See 78-230(c). In addition, the court has reviewed Defendant’s

motion and the applicable law, and has determined that the motion is suitable for decision

without oral argument. See Local Rule 78-230(h). 

Therefore, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the previously set hearing date of February

12, 2007 is VACATED, and no party shall appear at that time. As of February 12, 2007, the

court will take the matter under submission, and will thereafter issue its decision. If Plaintiff

desires the court to consider any opposition, Plaintiff must electronically file it prior to February

12, 2007. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
