IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

AKAN BOYD,

Plaintiff,

 v.

CONTRA COSTA COMMUNITY COLLEGE

DISTRICT and CAROLYN HODGE,

Defendants. /

No. C 08-04129 JSW

ORDER MODIFYING BRIEFING

SCHEDULE

This matter is set for a hearing on January 9, 2009 the motion to dismiss, or, in the 

alternative, motion for a more definite statement filed by Defendant San Francisco Community

College District (erroneously named herein as Contra Costa Community College and Carolyn

Hodge). On September 4, 2008, this Court issued an order setting the briefing schedule, which

permitted the Court to address the motion on the papers and set the dates for briefing

sufficiently in advance of the hearing date. However, on September 15, 2008, Plaintiff,

appearing pro se, filed a motion for a new order setting the briefing schedule. Although the

Court is well-within its discretion to order briefing with an opposition due at least 21 days in

advance of the hearing, the Court construes Plaintiff’s motion as a request to set the briefing

schedule, giving Plaintiff the maximum time to oppose the motion, according to the Civil Local

Rules.

Therefore, the Court HEREBY ORDERS that Plaintiff Akan Boyd shall file an

opposition to the motion by no later than December 19, 2008 and a reply brief shall be filed by

no later than December 26, 2008. Failure to oppose the motion may result in dismissal of this

action. 

If the Court determines that the matter is 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.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: September 17, 2008
