ORDER REGARDING EX PARTE

COMMUNICATIONS

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

YOLANDA BUMATAY MULATO, 

 Plaintiff, 

 v. 

WELLS FARGO BANK, N.A., and WELLS 

FARGO HOME MORTGAGE, a division of 

WELLS FARGO BANK, N.A., 

 Defendants. 

Case No. 14-cv-00884 NC

ORDER REGARDING EX PARTE

COMMUNICATIONS 

The Court has received ex parte communications from plaintiff’s counsel, Richard A. 

Canatella regarding a non-scheduling matter. As a general matter, the local rules prohibit 

ex parte communications and provide that “an attorney or party to an action must refrain 

from making telephone calls or writing letters or sending copies of communications 

between counsel to the assigned Judge or the Judge’s law clerks or otherwise 

communicating with a Judge or the Judge’s staff regarding a pending matter, without prior 

notice to opposing counsel.” Civ. L.R. 11-4(c). This rule is not intended to prohibit 

communications with a Courtroom Deputy Clerk regarding scheduling. Commentary to 

Civ. L.R. 11-4(c). 

Furthermore, any written request to the Court for an order must be presented by filing 

a proper motion or stipulation. See Civ. L.R. 7-1(a).
