NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

TIMOTHY J. HANNA,

Plaintiff,

v.

MICHAEL A LITTLE,

Defendant.

Case No. 14-cv-02216-HSG (PR)

ORDER GRANTING DEFENDANT’S 

EX PARTE APPLICATION TO 

EXTEND TIME; SCHEDULING ORDER

Re: Dkt. No. 45

Good cause appearing, defendant’s ex parte application to extend time to file an initial 

responsive pleading is GRANTED. Defendant shall respond to plaintiff’s third amended 

complaint on or before January 11, 2016.

On June 9, 2015, the Court vacated its previous scheduling order given that defendant had 

not yet been served. Defendant has now been served and has appeared through counsel. 

Accordingly, the Court now sets the following new briefing schedule:

1. No later than 91 days from the date this order is filed, defendant must file with the 

Court and serve upon plaintiff a motion for summary judgment. The motion for summary 

judgment also must be accompanied by a Rand notice so that plaintiff will have fair, timely and 

adequate notice of what is required of him in order to oppose the motion. Woods v. Carey, 684 

F.3d 934, 939 (9th Cir. 2012) (notice requirement set out in Rand v. Rowland, 154 F.3d 952 (9th 

Cir. 1998), must be served concurrently with motion for summary judgment).

2. Plaintiff’s opposition to the summary judgment or other dispositive motion must be 

filed with the Court and served upon defendant no later than 28 days from the date the motion is 

filed.

3. Defendant shall file a reply brief no later than 14 days after the date the opposition 

is filed. The motion shall be deemed submitted as of the date the reply brief is due. No hearing 

will be held on the motion. 

4. Plaintiff is advised that a motion for summary judgment under Rule 56 of the 

Federal Rules of Civil Procedure will, if granted, end your case. Rule 56 tells you what you must 

do in order to oppose a motion for summary judgment. Generally, summary judgment must be 

granted when there is no genuine issue of material fact – that is, if there is no real dispute about 

any fact that would affect the result of your case, the party who asked for summary judgment is 

entitled to judgment as a matter of law, which will end your case. When a party you are suing 

makes a motion for summary judgment that is properly supported by declarations (or other sworn 

testimony), you cannot simply rely on what your complaint says. Instead, you must set out 

specific facts in declarations, depositions, answers to interrogatories, or authenticated documents, 

as provided in [current Rule 56(c)], that contradict the facts shown in the defendant’s declarations 

and documents and show that there is a genuine issue of material fact for trial. If you do not 

submit your own evidence in opposition, summary judgment, if appropriate, may be entered 

against you. If summary judgment is granted, your case will be dismissed and there will be no 

trial. Rand v. Rowland, 154 F.3d 952, 962-63 (9th Cir. 1998) (en banc) (App. A).

(The Rand notice above does not excuse defendant’s obligation to serve said notice again 

concurrently with a motion for summary judgment. Woods, 684 F.3d at 939).

This order terminates Docket No. 45.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
