UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

This case was removed from Superior Court, County of Kern. On November 26, 2014, 

Plaintiff filed a motion entitled “Motion to Dismiss Pursuant to 28 U.S.C.A. #1331” that sought a 

hearing on December 9, 2014 in Kern County Superior Court. Doc. 8. Defendants filed a separate 

motion to dismiss that was set for hearing on December 8, 2014. The court conflated the motions 

and took both matters under submission. Doc. 10. The issue was brought to the court’s attention 

by Defendants. Plaintiff’s motion was reset for January 20, 2015 at 1:30 PM in Courtroom 2.

Doc. 11. 

Plaintiff now asks to appear telephonically at the January 20, 2015 hearing, asks for the 

court to provide a copy of Defendants’ motion to dismiss, and expresses concern that “the hearing 

seems to indicate that my motion to dismiss is no longer under submission for legal consideration

and subsequent decision.” Doc. 12. Plaintiff’s motion will be considered by the court. The 

motion was originally taken under submission by mistake; a hearing date was set in order to allow 

oppositions and replies to be filed. Once the further briefing has been received, the court will 

determine whether oral argument on January 20, 2015 is necessary or whether the motion should 

be taken under submission without holding a hearing. So, Plaintiff’s request to appear

10. Plaintiff’s request for another copy of these documents is denied.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
