UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

FARID SHAHRIVAR,

Plaintiff,

v.

CITY OF SAN JOSE, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 10-cv-01029-PSG

ORDER DENYING MOTION TO 

VACATE JUDGMENT

(Re: Docket No. 123)

Before the court is a motion by Plaintiff Farid Shahrivar under Fed. R. Civ. P. 60(b)(6) and 

72(b) to vacate its judgment in favor of Defendants City of San Jose and a number of City 

employees.

1

 The motion takes issue with the court’s rulings in its order granting Defendants’

motion to dismiss.2 Although Civ. L.R. 7-2(b) requires that moving papers, including those in 

support of Rule 60 motions, “not exceed[] 25 pages in length,” Shahrivar’s papers are 28 pages 

long.3 Shahrivar did not seek leave to file additional pages, and he is represented by experienced 

counsel. Also, because the parties here have consented to magistrate judge jurisdiction,4Fed. R. 

Civ. P. 72(b) does not apply. Because the Ninth Circuit has made clear that district courts should 

hold parties to the federal and local civil rules,5Shahrivar’s motion is DENIED.
