 Pursuant to the Court’s Pretrial Instructions in Civil Cases at Section 2, trial counsel shall 

meet and confer at least twenty-one (21) days in advance of the Pretrial Conference. The 

compliance hearing on Friday, November 4, 2016 at 9:01 a.m. is intended to confirm that counsel 

have reviewed the Court’s Pretrial Setting Instructions and are in compliance therewith. The 

compliance hearing shall be held in the Federal Courthouse, 1301 Clay Street, Oakland, 

California, in Courtroom 1. Five (5) business days prior to the date of the compliance hearing, the 

parties shall file a one-page JOINT STATEMENT confirming they have complied with this 

requirement or explaining their failure to comply. If compliance is complete, the parties need not 

appear and the compliance hearing will be taken off calendar. Telephonic appearances will be 

allowed if the parties have submitted a joint statement in a timely fashion. Failure to do so may 

result in sanctions. 

 The parties must comply with both the Court’s Standing Order in Civil Cases and Standing 

Order for Pretrial Instructions in Civil Cases for additional deadlines and procedures. All 

Standing Orders are available on the Court’s website at http://www.cand.uscourts.gov/ygrorders. 

Defendants have indicated they intend to file a motion for summary judgment against 

Plaintiff in this matter. At the case management conference on March 28, 2016, both parties were 

present and agreed that motions for summary judgment would be filed no later than September 6, 

2016, to be heard on 35-day notice. Ninth Circuit authority indicates that self-represented 

plaintiffs should be given “notice of what is required of them in order to oppose” summary 

judgment motions at the time of filing of the motions. See Rand v. Rowland, 154 F.3d 952, 962-

63 (9th Cir. 1998); Woods v. Carey, 684 F.3d 934, 935, 940-41 (9th Cir. 2012). Accordingly, the 

Court provides the following notice to Plaintiff for her information in connection with Defendant’s 

motion for summary judgment: 

Defendant [intends to make] a motion for summary judgment under Rule 56 of 

the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure which, if granted, will end your case by 

granting judgment in favor of Defendant. 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 Rule 56(e). The 

evidence in those documents must 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 may be entered against you. If summary judgment is granted in favor 

of the defendant, your case will be dismissed and there will be no trial. 

See Rand, 154 F.3d at 962-63. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
