UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JOSEPH JOHNSON,

Plaintiff,

v.

SANTA CLARA COUNTY; et al.,

Defendants.

 /

No. C 05-1628 SI (pr)

ORDER SETTING BRIEFING

SCHEDULE

Defendant Bernal filed a motion to dismiss this action on January 30, 2007. The court

now sets the following briefing schedule on defendant Bernal's motion to dismiss: Plaintiff

must file and serve his opposition to the motion to dismiss no later than March 2, 2007.

Defendant Bernal must file his reply brief (if any) no later than March 23, 2007.

The court file discloses a problem with the parties' service of documents on other parties.

Defendant Bernal served a copy of his motion on plaintiff but not on defendant Hey, defendant

Hey served a copy of his answer on plaintiff but not on defendant Bernal, and plaintiff did not

serve a copy of his motion for default on any defendant. The non-service by defendants appears

to be due to the fact that the defendants are represented by different attorneys and may not have

been aware of each other's appearance in this action. Whatever the cause of the problem, the

problem needs to come to an end. From this point forward, every document a party files must

be served on every other party (or his attorney if represented by an attorney). Additionally, every

document filed must have attached to it a proof of service showing that every other party in the

action has been served with a copy of that document. It does not matter whether the filing

affects another party – once a party has appeared in this action, he is entitled to a copy of each

document filed by every other party.

Plaintiff is reminded that the January 26, 2007 deadline for him to serve process on each

and every defendant and file proof that he has accomplished the service remains in place. See

Sep. 26, 2006 Order Re. Service Of Process, pp. 1-2.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
