ORDER DIRECTING DEFENDANTS TO MANUALLY SERVE PRO SE PLAINTIFF; SETTING SERVICE AND BRIEFING SCHEDULE; CONTINUING HEARING AND CASE MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE

MAXINE M. CHESNEY, District Judge.

On September 21, 2016, defendant Tesla Motors, Inc. ("Tesla") filed a motion to dismiss plaintiff's complaint and a request for judicial notice in support thereof. On September 26, 2016, the above-titled action was reassigned to the undersigned. On September 28, 2016, Tesla renoticed its motion for hearing on November 4, 2016.

The record does not indicate, however, that Tesla manually served its motion, request for judicial notice, or renotice on plaintiff, who is appearing pro se. See Civil L.R. 5-1(b) ("Parties represented by counsel in a case involving a pro se party must file documents electronically and serve them manually on the pro se party unless the pro se party has been granted permission to become an ECF user.").1

Accordingly, the following service and briefing schedule shall apply:

1. No later than October 4, 2016, Tesla shall manually serve upon plaintiff copies of its motion to dismiss, request for judicial notice, and renotice of its motion; additionally, Tesla shall, within four days of effectuating service, file proof thereof.

2. No later than October 21, 2016, plaintiff shall file and serve his opposition to Tesla's motion to dismiss.

3. No later than October 28, 2016, Tesla shall file and serve any reply.

4. The hearing on Tesla's motion to dismiss is hereby CONTINUED to November 18, 2016.

In light of the above, the Case Management Conference is hereby CONTINUED to February 17, 2017.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
