IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

PAULINE HORVATH,

Plaintiff,

 v.

DR. DONALD C. WINTER,

Defendant. /

No. C 07-04952 JSW

ORDER MODIFYING BRIEFING

SCHEDULE

On December 26, 2007, this Court issued an Order setting a briefing schedule on

Defendant’s motion to dismiss, which has been noticed for hearing on February 15, 2008. 

Plaintiff, Pauline Horvath, is appearing pro se in this action and due to an oversight, it does not

appear that Ms. Horvath was served with a copy of that Order.

Accordingly, the Court sua sponte modifies the briefing schedule to ensure that Ms.

Horvath has notice of the briefing schedule set by the Court. Plaintiff is HEREBY ORDERED

to file and serve her opposition to Defendant’s motion on January 23, 2008. Defendant shall

file and serve his reply on January 30, 2008.

In addition, the Court notes that in its motion to dismiss, Defendant contends that Ms.

Horvath did not comply with an Order issued by Judge Patel on March 26, 1999, requiring her

“seek leave of this court before she files any additional actions in this District involving any

claims related to her employment with the United States Navy or against defendant Dalton or

other persons whom she has sued in prior actions in this District.” (See Horvath v. Dalton, 97-

0088-MHP, Docket 67 (Motion to Relate Cases, Ex. C).) However, when Ms. Horvath filed the

instant Complaint, she also filed a document entitled “Request for Oakland District Court Filing

1 The Court notes that it has conducted a cursory review of Ms. Horvath’s

complaints, orders issued, and appellate opinions rendered in the cases that the Government

asserted should be related to this case. Although those earlier cases raise retaliation claims

relating to Ms. Horvath’s employment with the Department of the Navy they do not

specifically address the issue of blacklisting.

2

Location, Due to Severe Disability, and Request for Leave of Court to File this Complaint.” 

(See Docket 2.) In that motion, Ms. Horvath contends that “[t]he subject of Blacklisting has not

been previously filed with this Court.” (Id.) Thus, it appears to this Court that Ms. Horvath did

comply with the terms of the March 26, 1999 Order by seeking leave to file the instant

complaint, and the Court will consider that motion in connection with Defendant’s motion to

dismiss.1

IT IS SO ORDERED.
