Re: Dkt. No. 16

On May 8, 2014, Plaintiff Emil Lawrence filed a separate Case Management Statement. 

Dkt. No. 16. Plaintiff is advised that the Court will not consider the statement, as it does not

from superior court. Dkt. No. 8. Pursuant to the Standing Order and Rule 16-9, the parties are 

required to file a Joint Case Management Statement by May 22, 2014.

The Court advises Plaintiff that there are resources available to parties representing 

themselves in federal court. Plaintiff may wish to obtain a copy of the District Court’s Handbook 

for Litigants Without a Lawyer. It provides instructions on how to proceed at every stage of your 

case, including discovery, motions, and trial. The handbook is available at the Clerk’s Office and 

at: http://cand.uscourts.gov/prosehandbook. He may also seek assistance from the Legal Help 

Center, a free service of the Volunteer Legal Services Program, by calling 415-782-8982, or by 

signing up for an appointment on the15th Floor of the Federal Courthouse in San Francisco, 450 

Golden Gate Avenue, San Francisco, California. At the Legal Help Center, you will be able to 

speak with an attorney who may be able to provide basic legal help but not representation. More

IT IS SO ORDERED.
