September 12, 2019 Filing 13 EO: On 9/11/19, the Court received two, one-sentence letters dated September 11, 2019 from Plaintiff Yasutaka Suzuki. The first letter states that Plaintiff will be "out of town from 9/17/19 through 10/1/19." The second letter states that Plaintiff "would like to change my complaint and request for a Jury Trial." Liberally construing Plaintiff's letters, it appears that in the first letter, Plaintiff may be requesting a continuance of a hearing. The only hearing presently scheduled is the Rule 16 scheduling conference set for 9/16/19 at 9:00 a.m., which is before Plaintiff is out of town on 9/17/19. Accordingly, the Court will disregard Plaintiff's first letter. Plaintiff has the duty to litigate his case "with diligence to take all steps necessary to bring an action to readiness for trial." LR 16.1. This includes, but is not limited to, following the applicable rules, service of the proper parties within the time limit provided in Federal Rules of Civil Procedure ("FRCP"), Rule 4(m), meeting all deadlines, and attending all scheduled hearings. Plaintiff's first letter does not constitute a blanket request to continue all future hearings that may be scheduled during the time that Plaintiff will be out of town and does not excuse Plaintiff from meeting any deadlines that may fall on a date during the time he claims he will be out of town. If Plaintiff seeks to extend a deadline, he must follow the applicable rules and make the appropriate motion. The Court, at its discretion, will review the motion and determine whether an extension is warranted. Liberally construing Plaintiff's second letter, it appears that Plaintiff is seeking to amend his complaint and is requesting a jury trial. If Plaintiff seeks to amend his Complaint, he must do so pursuant to FRCP Rule 15. If Plaintiff wishes to request a jury trial, he must do so pursuant to FRCP Rule 38. Accordingly, the Court will disregard Plaintiff's second letter. Plaintiff is cautioned that he is required to "abide by all local, federal, and other applicable rules and/or statutes." LR81.1. This includes filing appropriate motions when requesting specific relief. Plaintiff's two letters were vague and does not constitute proper motions under the rules. Failure to meet this duty or to comply with the rules may result in sanctions and dismissal of this case. LR81.1. re #11 Letter, #12 Letter.

September 4, 2019 Filing 7 EO: On 8/26/19, Plaintiff filed a document titled "Affidavit" (ECF No. 6). The Affidavit appears to contain arguments in a question-answer format and a request for a Japanese speaking interpreter. Under FRCP 43(d), the Court has discretion to appoint an interpreter when testimony is being taken. However, Plaintiff is not entitled to a court appointed interpreter and the rules do not provide that one should be made available at this time. Accordingly, Plaintiff's request for a Japanese speaking interpreter is DENIED.Plaintiff is reminded that he has a duty to litigate his case and "to take all steps necessary to bring an action to readiness for pretrial and trial." Local Rule 16.1. Plaintiff is also reminded that he is required to "abide by all local, federal, and other applicable rules and/or statutes." Local Rule 83.13. This includes filing the appropriate motions or documents when seeking relief from the Court. Here, there is no clear explanation or reasoning why the affidavit was filed. Plaintiff is cautioned that failure to meet this duty or to comply with the rules could result in sanctions or dismissal of the case. re #6 Affidavit.
