IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

WALTER HAMMOCK, derivatively on behalf

of Nominal Defendant Electronic Arts Inc.,

Plaintiff,

 v.

M. RICHARD ASHER at al.,

Defendants.

 /

No. C-05-2009 MMC

ORDER DIRECTING PLAINTIFF TO

(1) LODGE CHAMBERS COPIES IN

COMPLIANCE WITH GENERAL

ORDER 45 AND THE COURT’S

STANDING ORDERS AND (2) NOTICE

MOTION FOR HEARING

On June 13, 2005, plaintiff filed a document entitled “Unopposed Motion to Appoint

Lead Derivative Counsel and Stay This Matter.” Plaintiff has violated General Order 45 and

the Court’s standing orders, however, by failing to deliver to the Clerk’s Office “no later than

noon on the business day following the day that the papers are filed electronically, one

paper copy of each document that is filed electronically . . . marked ‘Chambers Copy’ and .

. . clearly marked with the judge’s name, case number, and ‘Chambers Copy-Do Not File.’”

See General Order 45 § VII.G; see also Standing Orders For Civil Cases Assigned to The

Honorable Maxine M. Chesney ¶ 2.

Accordingly, plaintiff is hereby ORDERED to comply with General Order 45 and the

Court’s standing orders by immediately submitting chambers copies of their stipulation and

supporting documents. The parties are hereby advised that if any party fails in the future

to comply with the Court’s order to provide chambers copies of electronically-filed

documents, the Court may impose sanctions on the noncomplying party, including, but not

limited to, striking from the record any electronically-filed document of which a chambers

copy has not been timely provided to the Court.

Moreover, plaintiff has not noticed his motion for a hearing and, consequently, has

violated Civil L.R. 7-2(a), which requires that “all motions must be filed, served and noticed

in writing on the motion calendar of the assigned Judge for hearing not less than 35 days

after service of the motion.” See Civil L.R. 7-2(a). The Court will not consider plaintiff’s

motion until it is properly noticed for hearing in accordance with the Civil Local Rules.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: June 24, 2005
