SMAATO, INC.,

Plaintiff,

v.

SITO MOBILE LTD,

Defendant.

Case No. 19-cv-05480-KAW 

ORDER TERMINATING MOTION 

FOR WRIT OF ATTACHMENT

Re: Dkt. Nos. 11, 14

On September 5, 2019, Plaintiff Smaato, Inc. filed a motion for a writ of attachment, which 

improperly referred to the Superior Court of California and gave an incorrect briefing schedule. 

(See Dkt. Nos. 10, 11.) After Plaintiff was ordered to re-file the documents, Plaintiff filed a new 

motion for a writ of attachment on September 9, 2019. (Dkt. No. 14.) No proof of service was 

filed.1 Additionally, the September 9, 2019 motion did not include a memorandum of points and 

authorities, nor did it provide any legal basis upon which ex parte relief may be granted. See Civil 

L.R. 7-10 (“The 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.”)

1 On September 17, 2019, Plaintiff filed a “Declaration of Service,” which stated that the 

complaint, summons, and original motion for a writ of attachment had been served on September 

6, 2019. (Dkt. No. 17.)

United States District Court

Northern District of California

As Plaintiff has not served the instant motion, and Defendant has only recently been served

with the complaint and summons, the Court TERMINATES the motion for a writ of attachment. 

Once Defendant has been given the opportunity to appear and respond to the complaint, Plaintiff 

may re-file the motion and re-notice it for hearing, in accordance with Civil Local Rule 7-2.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: September 24, 2019
