    AMENDED MINUTES held before Judge S. James Otero re: Minutes of In Chambers Order/Directive - no proceeding held 63 .The Court is in receipt of Relator Nasrin Yousefmorrowatti's ("Relator") Motion for Reconsideration ("Motion"), filed October 30, 2016.the Court will permit Relator to file a "First Amended Complaint"--rather than a "Second Amended Complaint"--that includes these additional allegations. The Court will not, however, entertain anewly filed First Amended Complaint that includes "detailed facts, definitions and descriptions, regulations, and exhibits, including authorities that would have cited and justified the name of the additional Plaintiff's, Defendants, coconspirator, supplemental jurisdiction and etc." that work to render the document "confusing, distracting, ambiguous, [or] unintelligible." Schmidt v. Hermann, 614 F.2d 1221, 1224 (9th Cir. 1980). Such a document would impose an unfair burden on both defendants and the Court. Thus, should Relator decide to file her First Amended Complaint on or before November 10, 2016, she must take care to set forth her allegations in a clear, organized manner that references--but does not necessarily quote from--the regulations and/or authorities allegedly violated by defendants' conduct. Relator must also take care to set forth allegations that satisfy the strictures of Rule 9(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. (lc) (Entered: 10/31/2016)

The Court will permit Relator to file a "First Amended Complaint"--rather than a "Second Amended Complaint"--that includes these additional allegations. The Court will not, however, entertain a newly filed First Amended Complaint that includes "detailed facts, definitions and descriptions, regulations, and exhibits, including authorities that would have cited and justified the name of the additional Plaintiff's, Defendants, coconspirator, supplemental jurisdiction and etc." that work to render the document "confusing, distracting, ambiguous, [or] unintelligible."

24. Entry 61October 20, 2016

    MINUTE ORDER IN CHAMBERS by Judge S. James Otero: This matter is before the Court on its own initiative. The Court has reviewed the FIRST AMENDED COMPLAINT 59 and finds it to be confusing, distracting, ambiguous, and unintelligible. Within 21 days of this Order, Relator may file a Second Amended Complaint. Alternatively, she may request a voluntary dismissal of this case, pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(a). If she chooses to file a Second Amended Complaint, it may only be brought against DaVita and TRC, and must (1) clearly identify the specific Medicare regulations allegedly violated by Defendants' conduct; (2) describe the conduct constituting such alleged violations with the particularly required under Rule 9(b); and (3) be organized in a logical manner using comprehensible language. The Court will not entertain a Second Amended Complaint that includes block quotations from legal authorities--instead, Relator must specify the particular regulations at issue and describe in basic English why Defendants' conduct violates these regulations. Should Relator choose to file a Second Amended Complaint, Defendants DaVita and TRC will have fourteen (14) days from its filing to respond. The Court advises Relator that it will not be well-disposed toward a second dismissal with leave to amend if Relator files a Second Amended Complaint that remains incomprehensible or includes claims on which relief cannot be granted.

36. Entry 49September 16, 2016

    MINUTES (IN CHAMBERS)by Judge S. James Otero: The Court is in receipt of Nasrin Morrowatti's ("Counsel") ex parte application seeking both a one-week extension to file Plaintiff's First Amended Complaint ("FAC"), currently required to be filed by September 12, 2016, and a one-week continuance of the scheduling conference, currently set for September 26, 2016 ("Application"). (See ECF Nos. 46-47.) Although Counsel filed her Application the same day the FAC was due under the Court's August 26, 2016 order and although Counsel failed to lodge a proposed order consistent with this Court's Initial Standing Order and Local Rules, the Court finds good cause to afford Plaintiff an additional week to file her FAC in light of Counsel's averred injury. Accordingly, the Court GRANTS IN PART Counsel's Application and ORDERS Plaintiff to file her FAC on or before September 19, 2016. Moreover, although Counsel mistakenly avers that the scheduling conference was set for September 12, 2016, the Court on August 4, 2016, set the scheduling conference for September 26, 2016. (See ECF No. 40.) The Court nevertheless finds good cause to advance the scheduling conference in light of the September 12, 2016 deadline to file a joint Rule 26(f) Report, which the parties were apparently unable to prepare. The Court accordingly VACATES the scheduling conference currently set for September 26, 2016, and SETS a renewed scheduling conference for Monday, October 3, 2016 at 8:30a.m. The Parties are ORDERED to file their Joint Rule 26(f) Report on or before September 21, 2016.
