IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

COLIN R. BRICKMAN,

Plaintiff,

v.

FACEBOOK, INC.,

Defendant.

Case No. 16-cv-00751-MMC 

ORDER SETTING DEADLINE FOR 

DEFENDANT TO FILE CERTIFICATE 

OF SERVICE; REVISING BRIEFING 

SCHEDULE ON DEFENDANT'S 

MOTION TO DISMISS

Re: Dkt. Nos. 29, 30

On February 12, 2016, plaintiff Colin R. Brickman filed his Complaint in the abovetitled action, in which he alleges, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, a 

claim under 47 U.S.C. § 227(b)(1)(A)(iii). In response thereto, defendant Facebook, Inc., 

filed, on April 25, 2016, a Motion to Dismiss, in which defendant argues, inter alia, 

said statutory provision is unconstitutional both on its face and as applied to the conduct 

on which plaintiff’s claim is based. On April 25, 2016, defendant filed a notice of its

constitutional challenge and states therein its intention to serve the notice on the United 

States Attorney. Defendant has not complied, however, with the Local Rules of this 

District, as defendant did not file a certificate of such service concurrently with the notice,

see Civil L.R. 3-8(a), and, to date, no such certificate has been filed.

Accordingly, defendant is hereby DIRECTED to file, no later than May 6, 2016, the 

requisite certificate of service. 

In light of the above, the Court sets the following schedule:

1. If the United States wishes to intervene for the purpose of opposing 

defendant’s motion, it shall do so and file its opposition no later than July 8, 2016. See

Fed. R. Civ. P. 5.1(c) (providing “attorney general may intervene within 60 days after the
