IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

OSCAR VARELA,

Plaintiff,

 v.

CITY AND COUNTY OF SAN FRANCISCO,

ALAN LEVY, JOHN DOE TOOMEY, DOE

ONE, DOE TWO, DOE THREE, AND DOE

FOUR,

Defendants. /

No. C 06-01841 WHA

ORDER RE ASSESSMENT OF

JURY FEES FOR LATE

DISMISSAL

Plaintiff Oscar Varela decided to dismiss this action, and parties so stipulated, only a

few minutes before jury selection was set to begin on the first day of trial. Jurors had already

been summoned and had appeared for this action. 

Therefore, pursuant to Local Rule 40-1 (as well as paragraph 35 of the guidelines for

jury trials before the undersigned), the jury attendance fees will be charged against plaintiff for

failing to provide timely written notice of a settlement. Here, both parties demanded a jury,

however, the very tardy decision to dismiss the action was plaintiff’s. Accordingly, the jury

attendance fees will be charged against plaintiff. The amount to be reimbursed is $2,225.35, as

shown in the attached cost assessment bill, by check to be made out to Clerk, United States

District Court.
