If the Court determines that these matters are suitable for resolution without oral

argument, it will so advise the parties in advance of the hearing date. If the parties wish to

modify this schedule, they may submit for the Court’s consideration a stipulation and proposed

order demonstrating good cause for any modification requested.

Plaintiffs are HEREBY ADVISED that a Handbook for Pro Se Litigants, which contains

helpful information about proceeding without an attorney, is available through the Court’s

website or in the Clerk’s office. Plaintiffs also may wish to seek assistance from the Legal Help

Center. Plaintiffs may call the Legal Help Center at 415-782-9000, extension 8657, or sign up

on the 15th Floor of the Courthouse, Room 2796, for a free appointment with an attorney who

may be able to provide basic legal help, but not legal representation. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
