1 2 3 4 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 5 NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 6 7 SHARON LANE CHIN, Case No. 24-cv-03873-AMO

8 Plaintiff, ORDER GRANTING DEFENDANT’S 9 v. MOTION TO STRIKE

10 TESLA, INC., Re: Dkt. No. 31 Defendant. 11

12 Before the Court is Defendant’s motion to strike Plaintiff Chin’s Notice of Supplemental 13 Authority filed on February 28, 2025, ECF 30. See Strike Mot. (ECF 31) at 2. Plaintiff filed the 14 Notice under Civil L.R. 7-3(d) to bring to the Court’s attention Rodriguez v. Packers Sanitation 15 Services Ltd., LLC, No. D083400,

(Cal. Ct. App. Feb. 26, 2025) in support of its 16 opposition to Defendant’s motion to compel arbitration, ECF 25. Defendant argues that the 17 Notice violates Civil Local Rule 7-3(d) because it includes argument regarding the supplemental 18 authority at issue without first seeking Court approval.

The Court agrees that Chin’s Notice 19 violates this district’s local rules, which require a party to provide no more than a citation and 20 copy of the decision at issue. See Civil L.R. 7-3(d)(2). The Court therefore GRANTS 21 Defendant’s motion to strike Chin’s Notice from the record. 22 However, because Rodriguez appears relevant to the Court’s consideration of Defendant’s 23 motion to compel arbitration, and because Defendant indicated its willingness to address 24 Rodriguez at the upcoming April 17, 2025 motion hearing, see Strike Mot. at 2 n.2, the parties 25 SHALL file a submission of no more than 1.5 pages no later than noon on April 7, 2025, 26 addressing Rodriguez’s relevance to Defendant’s pending motion to compel arbitration. 27 // 1 The Court admonishes Chin that it will not countenance further departure from the Local 2 || Rules. 3 IT IS SO ORDERED. 4 Dated: April 3, 2025 5 = 6 cok ARACELI MARTINEZ-OLGUIN 7 United States District Judge 8 9 10 11 a 12
