UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA
DALRADA PRECISION CORP. et al.,
Plaintiffs,
v.
STUART COX,
Defendants.
Case No.: 24-cv-1122-AJB-DEB
ORDER REQUIRING PLAINTIFFS
TO SERVE DEFENDANT WITH
FILINGS
Upon review of the docket, it appears that Plaintiffs Dalrada Precision Corp. and
Dalrada Financial Corporation (“Plaintiffs”) have not been properly serving Defendant
Stuart Cox (“Defendant”) with their filings in this action.
Section 2.d.2 of the Electronic Case Filing Administrative Policies and Procedures
Manual for United States District Court for the Southern District of California (“ECF
Manual”) provides that “[a] party who is not a registered participant of CM/ECF is entitled
to service of a paper copy of any electronically filed document. The filing party must serve
the non-registered party with the document according to the Federal Rules of Civil,
Criminal and Appellate Procedure.”
Here, Plaintiffs’ filings include a “Certificate of Service” stating that “a copy of the
foregoing was electronically filed with the Clerk of the Court by using the CM/ECF

system” and that “[n]otice of this filing will be sent by operation of the Court’s electronic
filing system to all parties indicated on the electronic filing receipt via email service.” (See,
e.g., Doc. No. 133 at 21.) This is insufficient.
Defendant is appearing in this action pro se and is not registered participant of
CM/ECF. Indeed, Defendant does not have an email address registered with CM/ECF. (See
generally Docket.) Thus, Defendant does not receive electronic notice of filings in this
matter and is entitled to a paper copy of any electronically filed document. ECF Manual
§ 2.d.2. Accordingly, the Court ORDERS Plaintiffs to serve Defendant with the following
documents consistent with Rule 5 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure: (1) The First
Amended Complaint (Doc. No. 129) and (2) the redline version of the First Amended
Complaint (Doc. No. 133). Plaintiffs must file a proof of service on the docket indicating
that Plaintiffs properly served Defendant with the documents. Any future filings must
comply with all applicable rules. Future noncompliance with the Federal Rules, Local
Rules, or Chambers Rules will result in sanctions. See CivLR 83.1.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
