UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

It has come to the Court’s attention that Plaintiff Eugene Forte has been emailing chambers 

seeking legal advice in connection with this matter. Plaintiff asks the Court to calculate the due date 

of his First Amended Complaint. Computing any time period in federal court is governed by Federal 

Rules of Civil Procedure and therefore not a proper inquiry for the Court. Fed. R. Civ. P. 6(a). 

Plaintiff is informed that that Court cannot provide legal advice or act as advocate for any litigant. See 

Rao v. AmerisourceBergen Corp., No. CIV S-08-1527 DAD PS, 2011 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 41371, 2011 

WL 1464378, at *1 (E.D. Cal. Apr. 15, 2011). Further, ex parte communications, including requests 

for legal advice, are not permitted. Plaintiff is ordered to cease and desist any contact with the Court 

and Court staff unless it is in the context of a lawfully brought motion, filed pursuant to law and 

procedure, and made publicly viewable on the docket. Failure to abide by this Order will result in 

sanctions, including the possibility of dismissal of the pending case.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
