SAN JOSE DIVISION

RITA ACOSTA, et al.,

Plaintiffs,

v.

CITY OF SALINAS,

Defendant.

Case No. 15-CV-05415-LHK 

ORDER DIRECTING PLAINTIFFS TO 

RESPOND TO MOTION FOR LEAVE 

TO FILE SUPPLEMENTARY 

MATERIAL

Re: Dkt. No. 31

On February 11, 2016, Defendant filed an ex parte motion for leave to file supplementary 

material. ECF No. 31. Civil Local Rule 7-10, which governs ex parte motions, provides that “a 

party may file an ex parte motion . . . only if a statute, Federal Rule, local rule or Standing Order 

authorizes the filing of an ex parte motion.” Civil L.R. 7-10. Moreover, the ex parte motion 

“must include a citation to the statute, rule or order which permits the use of an ex parte motion to 

obtain the relief sought.” Id. 

With respect to this requirement, Defendant’s ex parte motion refers only to two Civil 

Local Rules: Civil Local Rule 7-3(d), which governs how supplementary material may be filed,

and Civil Local Rule 7-11, which govern motions for administrative relief. ECF No. 31 at 1; Civil

L.R. 7-3(d); Civil L.R. 7-11. Importantly, neither Civil Local Rule 7-3(d) nor Civil Local Rule 7-

11 “permits the use of an ex parte motion to obtain the relief sought.” Civil L.R. 7-10. 

Accordingly, the Court shall treat Defendant’s motion not as an ex parte motion, but as a 

motion for administrative relief. Thus, pursuant to Civil Local Rule 7-11, the Court hereby 

ORDERS Plaintiffs to file a response to Defendant’s motion by February 16, 2016, at 5:00 p.m. 

See Civil L.R. 7-11(b) (“Any opposition to or support for a Motion for Administrative Relief . . . 

must be filed no later than 4 days after the motion has been filed.”); Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(a)(1) (“[I]n 

computing any time period . . . count every day . . . but if the last day is a . . . legal holiday, the 

period continues to run until the end of the next day.”). 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: February 11, 2016
