UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

S.J. AMOROSO CONSTRUCTION 

CO., INC.,

Plaintiff, No. C 09-4197 PJH

v. ORDER

LIBERTY SURPLUS INSURANCE 

CORPORATION,

Defendant.

_______________________________/

The court is in receipt of the chambers copies of defendant Liberty Surplus

Insurance Corporation’s motion for leave to file an amended answer and amended

counterclaim, and supporting papers. The Request for Judicial Notice (“RJN”) and the

Declaration of Jay A. Christofferson, both filed in support of defendant’s motion, are not in

usable format. 

A document is in usable format if it is usable for the purpose for which it is submitted

to the court. The RJN is not in usable format because it consists of a thick stack of loose

paper, fastened only with a binder clip, which will in all likelihood become unfastened if the

court attempts to review the contents of the document. In addition, the RJN includes

numerous untabbed exhibits. The court is unable to locate exhibits in a thick document if

they are not tabbed. Similarly, the Christofferson Declaration is not in usable format,

because it also contains numerous untabbed exhibits.

The court will consider the contents of these documents only if copies in usable

format are submitted no later than May 11, 2010. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
