CARL RENOWITZKY, et al.,

Plaintiffs,

v.

WELLS FARGO BANK N.A, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 15-cv-05042-JCS 

ORDER TO FILE AMENDED 

COMPLAINT

On June 15, 2016, the Court granted Defendants’ motions to dismiss and ordered 

Plaintiffs, proceeding pro se after the withdrawal of their counsel, to file a second amended

complaint no later than July 13, 2016. See Order Granting Mots. to Dismiss (dkt. 50). No such 

amended complaint has been filed. On July 15, 2016, Plaintiff Carl Renowitzky filed a request for 

accommodation and purported notice of bankruptcy. See dkt. 51. By Order dated August 5, 2016, 

the Court acknowledged Renowitzky’s request for accommodation and ordered him to file further 

information no later than August 22, 2016 supporting his belief that this case should be stayed due 

to ongoing bankruptcy proceedings. See Order Regarding Request for Accommodation & Notice 

of Bankruptcy Stay (dkt. 52). Renowitzky did not file any response to that Order. Defendants 

filed responses indicating that this action should not be stayed because, among other reasons, 

Renowitzky’s bankruptcy case was dismissed. See dkts. 53, 54, 55. Neither Plaintiff appeared at 

the case management conference on September 2, 2016.

Defendants have requested that this action be dismissed with prejudice for failure to file a

second amended complaint. Although the deadline to file an amendment has long past, in light of 

Renowitzky’s request for accommodation, the Court grants Plaintiffs an additional two weeks 

from the date of this Order to file their second amended complaint. No further extension of that 

deadline will be granted without a showing of good cause.

United States District Court

Northern District of California

If Plaintiffs fail to file a second amended complaint on or before September 16, 2016, 

this action will be DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE in its entirety.

As a condition of his withdrawal from the case, Plaintiffs’ former counsel Marcus T. 

Brown agreed to forward filings in the record to his former clients. Because Plaintiffs have not yet 

appeared pro se or notified the Clerk of their addresses, that condition remains in force, and Brown 

is instructed to forward a copy of this Order to Plaintiffs as soon as practicable. In addition, in an 

abundance of caution, the Clerk is instructed to mail copies of this Order to Plaintiffs at each of

the various addresses listed in Defendants’ recent proofs of service:

Pauline Gallegos and/or Carl Renowitzky

26473 Palomares Road

Castro Valley, CA 94552

Pauline Gallegos and/or Carl Renowitzky

6121 Old Quarry Loop

Oakland, CA 94506

Pauline Gallegos and/or Carl Renowitzky

P.O. Box 332

San Lorenzo, CA 94530

Plaintiffs are once again encouraged to consult with the Federal Pro Bono Project’s Legal 

Help Center in either of the Oakland or San Francisco federal courthouses for assistance. The San 

Francisco Legal Help Center office is located in Room 2796 on the 15th floor at 450 Golden Gate 

Avenue, San Francisco, CA 94102. The Oakland office is located in Room 470-S on the 4th floor 

at 1301 Clay Street, Oakland, CA 94612. Appointments can be made by calling (415) 782-8982 

or signing up in the appointment book located outside either office, and telephone appointments 

are available. Lawyers at the Legal Help Center can provide basic assistance to parties 

representing themselves but cannot provide legal representation.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: September 2, 2016
