PROCEEDING (IN CHAMBERS): ORDER SETTING SEPTEMBER 8, 2009 HEARING ON MOTIONS Before the Court is Plaintiffs Motion for Review of Magistrate Judge Arthur Nakazatos August 6, 2009 Order Striking Filed Documents from the Record and Motion to Recuse Magistrate Judge Arthur Nakazato under 28 U.S.C. § 455(a), filed with the Court on August 18, 2009, and noticed for a hearing on September 14, 2009, at 8:30 a.m. (the Discovery Motion).
Despite the September 14, 2009 noticed hearing date, Plaintiffs request an earlier and expedited hearing on the Discovery Motion. Pursuant to Plaintiffs request, the Court hereby sets a new hearing date on the matter for Tuesday, September 8, 2009, at 8:00 a.m.
In addition, the Government filed with this Court on August 19, 2009, a Notice of Failure by Plaintiffs to Properly Effect Service of Process (the Service Notice).
By the Service Notice, the Government represents that the United States Attorneys Office is willing to accept service of process on behalf of all named Defendants if Plaintiffs would properly file and serve the First Amended Complaint and Summons.
See Service Notice at 4 (emphasis in original). While the First Amended

Complaint (FAC) was filed with the Court on July 15, 2009,1 it appears that Plaintiffs still have failed to serve both the FAC and Summons on the United States Attorneys Office, despite its willingness to accept service of process on behalf of all Defendants.
As such, Plaintiffs are ordered to properly serve the FAC and Summons on the United States Attorneys Office on or before September 8, 2009, at 8:00 a.m. Finally, On August 19, 2009, the Court received an Ex Parte Application for Order Vacating Voluntary Dismissal (the Ex Parte Application) on behalf of Plaintiffs Markham Robinson and Dr. Wiley S. Drake (the Moving Plaintiffs), through their attorney, Gary G. Kreep.
The Moving Plaintiffs also seek to file their Ex Parte Application under seal pursuant to Local Rule 79-5. The Moving Plaintiffs essentially contend that when they sought to substitute Gary Kreep as counsel due to their dissatisfaction with Dr. Orly Taitz, Ms. Taitz improperly and without their consent filed a voluntary dismissal of them from the action pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a).
See Doc. No. 33. As such, they seek reconsideration of the voluntary dismissal pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 60(b)(6). The Court finds that this matter is not appropriate for resolution on an ex parte basis.
Nor does this matter warrant filing documents under seal.
Therefore, the Court also sets this matter for hearing on September 8, 2009, at 8:00 a.m.
At the scheduled hearing time, the parties shall be prepared to discuss the merits of their dispute and to resolve both the motion for reconsideration as well as the substitution of counsel.
In summary, the Court sets for hearing at 8:00 a.m. on September 8, 2009,
(1) the Discovery Motion,
(2) the Service Notice, and
(3) the Ex Parte Application. All parties are ordered to be present. The Clerk shall serve this minute order on all parties to the action.
While the Government notes that the FAC was not filed in accordance with General Order 08-02 § V.C.1 (requiring complaints to be filed in the traditional manner rather than electronically), the Court accepts the July 15, 2009 filing.
However, this does not exempt Plaintiffs from effectuating proper service in the traditional manner, as indicated by this order.
See Id. at II.V (Traditional Service refers to service other than electronic service as authorized by the Federal Rules of Civil [] Procedure).
