5. If the parties are able to agree on a

briefing schedule for Plaintiff’s summary

adjudication motion, that schedule will be

adopted upon stipulation and order of the

Court. If the parties are unable to agree on

a schedule for the hearing of the summary

judgment motion by virtue of the need to

are authorized to appear telephonically at

the next Status Conference.

(Doc. 27)

On January 18, 2008, Amica filed a motion for summary

judgment, leaving the date for the hearing blank (Doc. 29). On

January 22, 2008, a Minute Order was issued by Courtroom Deputy

Alice Timken:

As the plaintiff has filed a motion for

summary judgment, 29, in this matter, the

Hearing re this motion has been set for

3/10/2008 at 10:00 AM in Courtroom 3 (OWW)

before Judge Oliver Wanger.

(Doc. 34). Another Minute Order was issued by Courtroom Deputy 

Alice Timken on February 6, 2008:

As there is a motion for summary judgment in

this matter scheduled to be heard 3/10/2008,

the Scheduling Conference currently set for

2/15/2008 has been continued to 4/24/2008 at

08:15 AM in Courtroom 3 (OWW) ....

Rule 83-183(a), Local Rules of Practice, provides: 1

Any individual who is representing himself or

herself without an attorney must appear

personally or by courtesy appearance by an

attorney admitted to the Bar of this Court and

may not delegate that duty to any other

individual, including husband or wife, or any

other party on the same side appearing without

an attorney. Any individual representing

himself or herself without an attorney is

bound by the Federal Rules of Civil or

Criminal Procedure and by these Local Rules.

All obligations placed on ‘counsel’ by these

Local Rules apply to individuals appearing in

propria persona. Failure to comply therewith

may be ground for dismissal, judgment by

default, or any other sanction appropriate

under these Rules.

the motion for summary judgment. Defendant John Roe through 1

Brenda Teixeira has filed a Statement of Non-Opposition to the

motion for summary judgment. The only defendant who has filed an

opposition to the motion is John Roe through Sheila Callahan

(referred to by Amica as the “federal John Roe” or as “John Roe

I”). Because the Minute Orders issued by the Courtroom Deputy

conflict with the Scheduling Order filed on January 17, 2008,

this may be the reason for the failure of the other defendants to

file any opposition. 

Oral argument set for March 10, 2008 on Amica’s motion for

summary judgment is vacated. All parties are ordered to appear

on Friday, March 14, 2008 at 8:15 a.m. for a further status

conference to establish the briefing schedule for Amica’s motion

for summary judgment. All parties are authorized to appear

telephonically. IT IS SO ORDERED.
