IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

WILLIAM J. WHITSITT,

Plaintiff,

v.

WEST VALLEY STAFFING GROUP, et 

al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 16-cv-00797-MMC 

ORDER STRIKING PLAINTIFF'S 

OPPOSITION; DIRECTING PLAINTIFF 

TO REFILE OPPOSITION IN 

COMPLIANCE WITH CIVIL LOCAL 

RULES; CONTINUING HEARING

Before the Court is plaintiff’s “Opposition to Defendant Tesla Motors Motion to 

Dismiss and Objection to Defendants Vexatious Litigant Label,” filed November 22, 2016. 

The opposition, however, fails to comply with the Civil Local Rules of this District. 

First, the opposition is 34 pages in length, exceeding the allowed page limit. See

Civil L.R. 7-3(b) (providing brief or memorandum in support of opposition to motion “may 

not exceed 25 pages of text”). Second, the entirety of the opposition is essentially singlespaced, such that the text appears on more than 28 lines per page. See Civil L.R. 3-

4(c)(2) (providing text of any paper presented for filing “must be double-spaced with no 

more than 28 lines per page, except for . . . footnotes and quotations”). Third, portions of 

the opposition appear to be written in a font that is smaller than 12-point type. See id.

(providing text of any paper presented for filing, including “text of footnotes and 

quotations” may not be less than “12-point type in the Courier font or equivalent”).

Accordingly, the above-referenced document is hereby STRICKEN. In the 

interests of justice, the Court will afford plaintiff an opportunity to file, no later than 

December 9, 2016, an opposition in compliance with the Civil Local Rules.

In light of the above, the Court hereby extends to December 16, 2016, the
